Everyone has a personal life and their are frequently big things going on their. However, it is very sexist to assume that Sarah can’t seperate her personal and professional life any more than Ronald Reagan or any other President who had a family. Some of Reagan’s kids made poor choices with their lives but do you feel that those distractions meant that he was not capable of serving as president.

Having a family isn’t the issue. It’s having extremely stressful and unusual family pressures (special needs newborn baby? underage daughter pregnant?) at a time where you need to focus on the country and its crises.
If a man was going through similar pressures I’d have the exact same concerns.
Look, I love Dr. Laura and everything, but let's get real here. For centuries, civilizations have done just fine with nannies and boarding schools and governesses, which would be scandalous in today's "social conservative" view. Why, no decent mother would do such a thing! Harrrrruummmphhhhhh!!!
Here's the bottom line: It's none of our business. As Christians, it's none of our business! Would you have someone commanding comment on every decision you made with regard to child rearing and family drama? What if I don't think your "normal" is normal? These people are from Alaska and rugged tough living; "normal" for a commercial fishing family would shock and horrify middle-class America. They'd have a field day judging them on horrible family irresponsibilities!
So you do unto others and treat them with the same respect for dignity and privacy that you'd have them extend to you.
My god, this utter disregard for the personal dignity and privacy of an American family is just sickening.
