Ordinarily, it shouldn't UNLESS the candidate politicizes it. Obama's church is relevant because he is trying to appeal to Evangelicals and other religious/moralistic voters; I think the Black church has been unfairly demonized but it is nonetheless relevant. Palin's children are relevant because she has politicized them. Her unmarried teenage daughter is a result of the failure of her abstinence-only philosophy. Her son going to Iraq is relevant because apparently she didn't pay much attention to the 5+ year old war, the most pressing foreign policy arena of our time, until her own family was affected.
