1) People say the family thing is only an issue because she is a woman. Not for me in the slightest. If the VP candidate were a man with five children, one of which is 4 months old with special needs and one is 17 years old and pregnant, I would likewise say that he should not be elected. Sure it can be done. But either family or country will be neglected. There is no way around it.
2) Would it ever be acceptable for male politician to blow kisses? I don't really thinks so. So apparently, the double standard is ok when works for you, but not otherwise.
