>It is not. Now that the family themselves are the ones who paraded in the limelight, it has become public business. If you look carefully behind them, you will not find me pushing them to the cameras. I'd actually rather that politicians' families, and private lives in general, stay out of the picture.

>But yep, nobody asked me, so they are under the spotlight. In this case, I think the campaign HQ thought it would be a good idea. I sincerely hope it will backfire and earn some privacy to future politicians' families. Or some other good may come out of this.

Nobody asked you, it is true; you are just a volunteer in this business. Also, I am quite aware what kind of 'good' you expect to see from this or any other political business. Get off your noble horse, it doesn't correlate well with your goals. You can play cozy with our fellow American-born members of this board. They don't know the life, at least that part that we both knew.
