After reading Newsmax’s “Pro-Lifers Applaud Palin Pick,” I learned a few things about the governor from Alaska.  Palin is a mother of five.  Not to say that women cannot juggle work and children, but the duties of the vice president are very demanding.  Her youngest was born prematurely in April of this year and was diagnosed with Down Syndrome.  An infant with special needs and four other children is somewhat time-consuming.  Even more, McCain just turned 72 Friday.  What if Palin had to take over the president’s position?   

I feel like McCain only chose a woman for the chance to one up Obama.  Was he trying to appeal to Hillary supporters?  What gets me is that some people are won over by McCain’s tactic.  Do people not realize that the McCain-Palin ticket champions ideas and policies that are considerably different from Hillary Clinton’s stances?
