Will Palin having young children affect the GOP ticket?

Question

Both Ferraro and Clinton had raised their children by the time they ran. Palin is the first candidate to run with young children and a special needs child at that.

Consider Jane Swift, a Republican who gave birth to twin girls in 2001 while acting governor of Massachusetts and then, her popularity ratings low in part because of her prior use of aides as baby sitters, dropped out of the 2002 primary race for election in her own right. Later she attributed her struggles to the difficulties of balancing work and family.

As a note, this isn't my point of view.

Answer 1

Apparently to the person who has this point of view - it's only possible for women to raise children....

Answer 2

Yes. People can see how you can run a small town(8,000) or a small state(600,000) and have 5 kids. It's inconceivable that you can do that an run a the country.

Answer 3

Didn't seem to bother the Kennedys.  It isn't an issue with Obama's two school age children.  Why should it be an issue with Palin?

Answer 4

so? obama has two young girls

Answer 5

Only because in their faux-righteousness, they've chosen the title of the Better-Than-Thou-Art Party.
