Perhaps my perception was wrong or my memory is wrong (or both -- it's quite possible), but it seemed to me that Sarah Palin didn't just not keep them out of the spotlight, but that she often seemed to push them into it. By contrast, I don't think the Oabama kids were seen on the campaign trail that often in 2008. From what I'm reading, that may be changing some this year.

That was my perception as well. She continued to do the same after the election by signing up for a reality TV series, etc.
