John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards, and Gender

I see that John Edwards was pulling out the Elizabeth card again today at the Yearly Kos convention (or whatever that's called). I like Elizabeth Edwards (much more than her husband), but I continue to find his constant references to her quite grating. Am I the only person who thinks that if their genders were switched and you had a female candidate talking about her spouse the way he talk about her that said female candidate would likely be run out of the presidential race? I mean would "remember how great my husband is, and all the great things he can do when I'm president" really fly with the party, the voters, and the press corps?
