I think that we have to come to terms with the fact that just b/c she's a woman and she bore the child, that doesn't mean that she shouldn't be able to just drop the baby and go off campaigning around the country. Sad as this is, really if we are saying that women are equal to men, they why should the age of the baby have anything to do with whether she can accept a nomination. If it was a man accepting a nomination, we wouldn't even *know* if he had a 4 month old child.
Now, besides the choice to accept the offer as candidate, her politics are just way too different from HRC's to get women - unless they were simply voting for HRC b/c she was a woman...politics aside. I mean come on, HRC is pro-choice. SP (sorry, I don't even know her middle name LOL) is so far to the right that she doesn't even believe in abortion in cases of rape or incest. My aunt, a woman who just retired from nursing after over 40 years, says that she remember women coming into the hospitals bleeding from trying to cause an abortion with foreign objects, with acid burns from sticking acid pills in their uterus, etc. back before roe v. wade. Ok, so SP thinks that this is not going to happen again if abortion is outlawed? Oh wait, the people trying to give themselves an abortion are sinners anyway in her mind probably so to h-ll with them anyway. (shrug)
Anyway, I digress. SP also thinks that the Iraq war and the pipeline in Alaska are both ordained by G-D. While I believe in G-D, it is scary to me to hear someone who is invoking G-D with regard to the Iraq war and the freaking pipeline in Alaska. The scary part is that it is impossible to reason with someone who thinks that the Iraq war is called upon by the Higher Authority. I believe that this is why we haven't been able to convince Bush of this...he also believes that it's ordained by G-D. You can't successfully argue with someone about that. You have no authority. I digress...again.
Again, she is so far to the right that the only HRC voters who will be swayed to her are those who only voted for HRC b/c she was a woman and cared NOTHING about her politics.
Further, women who are THAT feminist are going to be the same women that don't want some crazy super anti-abortion woman in the VP (and possibly the POTUS) seat. He just doesn't understand women or the demographic that he's trying to appeal to. The two just don't go together. Tsk tsk. Clearly, McCain's logic and deduction skills need sharpening.
HRC is not down with the NRA, while SP is a life member of the NRA. Total opposites almost, it seems to me. Has anyone taken HRC's temperature on this?
Again, SP really doesn't buy McCain much. Not a very bright decision. Not surprising however, as his aides apparently did not know that he was considering her. They could have helped him figure out that she wasn't going to grab any huge portion of the HRC demographic. She's way too far to the right.
In fact, SP is so far to the right that her politics don't even align with the way that McCain *wants* us to believe that he is. Forget the fact that he voted with Bush most of the time, if we go for the dupe like he wants us to and believe that he is so different from Bush, well, the fact of the matter is that SP may be more to the right than Bush! Ok, so who is McCain, really?
And SP is so christian-like, huh? That's why she was ripping Obama the way that she was, right? That's why she secured $27 million from a lobbyist that she paid to get funding for her 9,000 person town, right?
And SP is for special needs kids, huh? Is that now that she has one as of 4 months ago? B/c prior to that she cut funding for special needs kids. Hmm. So christianlike, so wonderful. Sounds just like someone who has authority to speak about what G-D has ordained. (sigh)
The whole debacle is hilarious to me. I can't wait for the next few weeks to unfold. I am sure that we will find out the real reason that she was picked. It can't be what we're being told. Come on. None of this makes sense. One thing we do know - John McCain has a thing for young dittys (sp)...even while he's married. lol. we've seen that one before from him with his first wife and cindy.

VP or not, I don't know if I could leave my 4 month old child to campaign. I'd have to discuss that with my family and do what's best for them.
