]]> Let me say at the outset of this post that my intention is not to be political as much as it is to vent! I am appalled at the coverage Sara Palin has received in the last few days. Why should her daughter get dragged in the mud? Why can’t they just attack her political views and leave her family out of it. You don’t see reporters going into the schools that Obama’s kids attend to find out if they are having trouble in their schools or give grief to Chelsea Clinton?!?!?!?! Even Obama says that family and children are off limits politically.

I want a REAL conversation on political issues. Stop trying to find some dirt to fling as to whether she can raise her family and be the vice president. I don’t remember hearing anyone question if Hilary Clinton or Geraldine Ferraro could be effective. Can someone tell me the difference? It seems like the press is lynching her. I thought the media WANTED a woman in the white house? Why does it matter what party she belongs to?

So now we are to believe that a woman can’t work outside the home and travel AND raise a family? I don’t hear anyone questioning how effective of a grandmother Nancy Pelosi can be since she splits her time in DC. Somebody is going to have to explain this to me because I just see bitterness and not reality.
