I find myself strangely completely agreeing with former Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson. There are lots of legitimate questions to ask of Sarah Palin. It’s fair to ask whether a governor elected about two years ago is ready to tackle national security. You can wonder if she’s sufficiently qualified — I grind my teeth at Obama supporters contending she’s unqualified, or claiming she’s “obviously unqualified.” Wolfson:

On the other hand, questions about how or whether Sarah Palin could raise her five children while serving as Vice-President are outrageous. Senator Obama, to his credit, has made clear that such enquiries are out of bounds. Unfortunately some in the media have raised this issue and injected it into the public discussion. Let’s be clear — there is no chance that a man in Sarah Palin’s position would be asked how he could possibly raise his children while running for high office. Democrats would be wise to continue to reject this line of attack.
Similarly obnoxious and inappropriate are the numerous photographs floating around the internet that superimpose Gov, Palin’s face on the cover of a fashion magazine or on the body of a woman in a bikini. Objectifying Gov. Palin isn’t going to win Barack Obama any votes.
Over time, many women voters rallied to Senator Clinton’s side to stand with her against sexist criticism. Republicans are attempting to use the attacks against Gov. Palin to create the same dynamic.

We’ve had some more great additions since this morning’s compilation. Would CNN ask if McCain was “checking out” his running mate? Would any male running mate have been greeted with an US Weekly cover with the headline, “Babies, Lies, and Scandal”? (And by the way… where’s the “lie” in this story?)
