How much do voter's have a right to know?

In the case of medical history, 3 out of 4 candidates (Obama, McCain, Biden) have released here histories. Palin has not yet done so, seeing as she is a newbie to public attention this has gone with out notice so far. Does the public have a right to know her medical history?

I would have to say yes the public has the right to know and in this case even more then any other. She is one set away from being the president and it should be public information if she has any serous ilnesses. On the other hand I want to say that most of a person's medical history should not be part of the decision making process.

This really another side effect of the modern presidency. We feel as if the president is such an important part of our governing that we must know all about the persons running. We truly are looking for a superhero not a president.
