She is certainly a shot in the arm for the McCain campaign!GramGrampsGazettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083713900388529676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008613399302116116.post-30132191428318846372008-09-21T00:03:00.000-05:002008-09-21T00:03:00.000-05:00totally agree with all of that!

Knowing you as I do, I agree that you...Nicely put. Knowing you as I do, I agree that you could choose to be extremely successful in any arena you would choose to enter, and I do respect and admire you for choosing to fill the most important and underappreciated role in society - that of a mother.<BR/><BR/>When Sarah Palin was announced as the VP pick, I was not pleased because I didn't feel this was the season of life for her to serve in this capacity. As a mother of young children with serious needs and as a soon-to-be grandmother and mother-in-law, I was concerned about her ability to dedicate the 80 (minimum) hours per week required to be an effective VP. I'm just not sure she can be an effective VP <I>and</I> an effective mother to her very young children.<BR/><BR/>I still have those concerns, but I was thoroughly impressed with her speech at the GOP convention, and I am thrilled to see a "small town" woman without a deep political past on the national stage. I join with you in applauding her and hope that she has her priorities and values as straight in her personal life as she claims to have in the political spotlight. <BR/><BR/>Regardless of whether she and McCain are elected, I believe her presence in this election will throw open doors for women to opportunities in political and other arenas.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289017743920830707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008613399302116116.post-25643839187992826672008-09-16T22:51:00.000-05:002008-09-16T22:51:00.000-05:00Girl, I've had the same thing said to me at a Repu...Girl, I've had the same thing said to me at a Republican congressional fundraiser no less! I was a little disappointd when she was first chosen but have quickly changed my opinion once I've seen how amazing she is. The more I learn of her the more impressed I am. But there is one nagging thought in the back of my mind. Is she really putting family first when she obviously have a family that greatly needs her now... a special needs child and another child ready to become a mother herself? As much as I like the woman and I want to see her in office I do wonder about this at times. I guess that is the issue women will always face.fijiangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974467937463989877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008613399302116116.post-31617939668053439192008-09-16T22:24:00.000-05:002008-09-16T22:24:00.000-05:00Amen sister!!

It always floors me that poeple think that getting as much experience and education as you can is wasted when raising other humans to be confident, articulate, intelligent adults who can give back to the world. As if children will learn all that stuff on their own with no role models to follow. <BR/>Poeple who think that have no concept of what good parenting is!A mother hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766853933459270549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1008613399302116116.post-78301876776532812562008-09-16T20:39:00.000-05:002008-09-16T20:39:00.000-05:00Way to say it!Way to say it!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891786392354650961noreply@blogger.com
