(50,985 posts)Again, I'm worried about winning an election. I hate to sound crass, but I don't care about his kids feelings surrounding seeing a vagina sign. I care about how it played out on television. That said, most media outlets may not make hay out of it. I hope that is so.
True, we're not talking Hitler, or droves of voters, here. But we might be talking about the invasion of Syria vs. not invading. And, presumably Code Pink would want to support the guy who will not listen to McCain on foreign policy?
The election is within a single digit, according to an average of national polls.

There are smart ways to protest in favor of choice. Using the Ryan kids as a prop, was not among them.
Edited to add, thank you for your thoughtful post.
Good night.
