I've heard and read innumerable times that VP candidate Sarah Palin is "under attack" with implication that her personal life is being, well, attacked by the Obama campaign.

First off, I'll grant that she's under scrutiny in the same vein that Obama, McCain, and Biden are with regard to their professional resumes and convictions, but the only statement made by Barack Obama about Palin's family situation is that he stands firmly against bringing it into the conversation, and that anyone who does under his employ will be fired.

This, of course, doesn't mean that, of all the Democrats, pundits, bloggers, etc. in the country, none will. So who's attacking Sarah Palin's family life, and who's publicizing it?

My answer: fringe elements are attacking; her supporters are publicizing.

Again, this is regarding her family life, not political positions or ideological convictions.
