Her enemies have used this to cause her hardship and financual loss while running her and her family's name through the mud. The lawsuit typically gets a lot of attention until she is cleared. No attention or scrutiny is given to the failed accuser.
Sarah Palin's family also never stopped being open game. Most politicians can parade their family out for the photo op and maybe give some kind reporter an interview for feel good story. Beyond that the family is off limits. Obama even tried to make himself look all tough by forcefully saying his wife and family were off limits when some of the stuff his wife was saying was questioned. He said this even though the things she said were while she was stumping for him. Sarah Palin was given no relief even after the election was over.
Sarah Palin leaves office with still over 50% support in the State she governed. Lets see Obama match that.

You're conventionally overlooking the fact that she CONTINUALLY has trotted her family out as part of her political endeavors. She doesn't use her family for 'feel good stories', she uses them as a political tool. When that 'tool' runs counter to so much of the crap you spew you should expect to be called on it.
I don't have a problem with a lot of Republican policies, in fact I'm probably a fiscal Republican, but Palin is an absolute disgrace. She pretty much embodies a political system that's based more on marketing and catering to the lowest common denominator than it is about actually running a country.
