i hope, if she is elected, tghat the families plan to move to washington to help out with the children. it's a far cry from leaving "nearby" when you move to washington. i am still thinking of the children. it's a lot on one parent to have 5 children to look after by themselves. she is going to be busy with executive branch decisions and other such matters.

After seeing how the "experienced" ones in Washington have run this country, I find it refreshing to have fresh blood in Washington. This country is suppose to be for the people, of the people, by the people, that hasn't been the case in many, many years. To many in Washington forget why they were elected, they don't care about the average American trying to survive with the economical and other issues we've all been inflected with. I also find it upsetting that because she is a woman, she is being criticized for having a career, not staying home to be a homemaker. Her husband is supportive and there for her. I guess as a women, we really haven't made much progress if this is the case. I like that she is feisty, I like that she doesn't play by the good old boys system. She is someone who truly cares about this country, not someone with just a political agenda. They will try to discredit her, they will bash her, put her down, tell half truths, lies, but I think she is just what we need.

Her husband, Todd, will be caring for the children at home. His parents live near-by and are supportive as is Sara's family.

I wonder who will care for the Down's Syndrome" child if elected and I can't imagine she has enough experience to deal with the nation's problems, if needed. I like her and a lot of what she stands for and her "maverick" staus, but the child is not being considered, I am afraid. Maybe in a couple of years, when they know what kinds of disabilities that the child may or may not be facing. That is more than I would think anyone could have to deal with at one time.
