Sean Gallagher is using his wife as a political football

hotmail.com

This is something that has annoyed me about Gallagher.

In the last couple of weeks he seems to be appearing everywhere with his wife either beside him or behind him. She's even pictured with him on his campaign leaflet that came in through the letter box. I'm pretty certain no other candidate included their partner in their campaign literature.

Why is using her as a political football, akin to something we see in American presidential elections, where the potential first lady is trotted out and are Irish voters influenced by the appearance of the partner of the potential president?

It shows a certain slyness in Gallagher's character that he uses his wife in such a way.

I dunno, McGuinness had a spiel about what a family man he is on the campaign leaflets that came through my door about 2 weeks ago. He's not the only one.

Not a fan of Gallagher, but Michael D and his wife appeared on his leaflet, to be fair.

I think it's perfectly normal. I wasn't out there getting angry when Obama had Michelle on his arm.

Is there any need for such personal abuse? "slyness in Gallagher's character that he uses his wife in such a way."
This has nothing to do with the election.

Not a fan of Gallagher in the slightest but I fail to see the issue with his wife appearing with him in official documents/appearances - she could be the wife of the president of Ireland in a weeks time.

Not a fan of gallagher.... But i seem to remember celia stuck to the hand of a prominant brown envelope man and it done him no harm.

This is just crazy talk. Besides gallaghers wife is a fine looking women. If i were him i would hold her tight.....

Perhaps she has a degree in BS and sean uses her to detect it....

McGuinness had a big picture of the whole family on his leaflets, can't remember the rest off hand.

McGuinness was parading his grand kids is his tv broadcasts, again I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Have you seen the FG party politcal broadcast for GM, his wife actually takes a slot in it to ask for votes for her husband.

If the partners weren't there you probably be giving out as to what sort of relationship they have as their partner int around showing their support.
