I really think her speech was great. She has a good outlook on what America needs and really gave Obama a run for the race. The only part I don't understand is the pro life thing or whatever. I had an aquaintance who gave birth in their 40s and that poor little kid never even seen his 17th birthday. It wasn't an uneventful death either. Internal bleeding, removal of the spleen, seizures, other intesinal problems, coma and pain. That poor little guy looked like a withered up little old man at the time of his death, not to mention he didn't get a chance to be a soccer player or participate in much of anything that other kids do. Why would anyone be so cruel and selfish to get pregnant after 40?

The more I look into this, the more I agree that the baby was definitely not hers, and it then makes sense that it's usually in the arms of her daughter.

With or without scandal, this is not a Head of State.

I think of Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher; I think of Hillary Rodham Clinton's last speeches. These were heads of state.

This woman is a beauty queen runner up, a contestant in a beauty pageant. Great! She was a cheerleader; great! She speaks with a cutesie, girlie voice. Where's the authority in just that, alone?

Nope. That Republican women think she has anything to do with them is beyond me.

I can tell you as a parent of a special needs kid, autism and aproxia (speech) My wife gave up her career for the last 10 years now to make sure our son has **everything** he needs to help him be the best person he can be, school alone aint gonna do it. I think Sarah should let the country run without her, her kid certainly needs more than most kids, and where was the bonding time, she dropped the kid off at daycare on day 3 to go back to work? WTF? Hubby doesn't seem like he's gonna be mom and dad IMO..

At first I thought the rumors that the baby was her daughter's was crazy---but I looked into it---and it doesn't look as crazy as it did to me... It is all sad.

And IF the baby is Sarah's, as a special needs baby, he certainly needs his mother more than most---yet, Sarah wants to be VP...?

I don't call that good-mothering.
