Palin scandals

So far, the criticism of Palin has been prolific. How can she take care of 5 kids and a pregnant daughter? How can she take care of a high needs Downs syndrome baby? What if she were thrust into the presidency on day one, because John McCain is about to go to pasture at the ripe old age of 72? What about the scandal with her sister's ex? Can she recover from the devastating revelation that her teenage daughter is unmarried and pregnant?

All I can say is, OMG, the Dems are WORRIED!! With Biden now baring his teeth at any mention of his Iran philosophy, this is the best they could do with 2 days of dredging? An unmarried pregnant teen? Unheard of in 2008! According to reports, they are going to paint the shotgun white and there is no chance that they will abort, so pass the champagne and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Johnston. (Note: Obama's mom apparently felt the same, so a gold star for her.) Do the reporters hear themselves asking of this woman should be caring for her children, rather than running for office? Look at the calendar, people, 2008 not 1908. Woman today can work and raise a family. Were Carter, Kennedy, Clinton all able to take care of young children and serve in the presidency? Duh! Has no one ever heard of a nursemaid caretaker? Down's children need special attention and I am sure she will select a professional who can help her care for the baby and be an attentive mother even when she is working, with or without the vice presidency. And for goodness sake, a healthy 72 year old is not imminently going to keel over. And she may have pressured a director to remove a gun and badge from the hands of a violent angry individual. We can't have that! Sarah, back to your kitchen, get those shoes off, and crank out another kid!

OTOH, Obama called off the dogs and declared these feeble attacks off limits. Besides being the right thing to do, it was apparent that Obama was sincerely bothered by the nature of attacks on Palin's family. Whatever happens to his campaign, the man is a class act, in stark contrast to the likes of Kerry and the Clintons. I'd like to see Obama get a bounce just for class.
