As a mother, I can see how one would have this reaction, however, Palin is a heroine. And these days, that's what we need. People need someone to look up to. A woman who is raising five children with her husband and has the record of Life and career successes that Sarah Palin has is just the ticket. While a child needs a lot of time with mom and maybe a special needs child needs even more, her husband Todd has said if she is elected, he will quit his job to spend more time with the children. That's two heroes by my account.
