Politics or Family; What will Palin give second priority to?
I have yet to come across a discussion of whether Palin can do a good job as a VP [Employee] , and a new mom of a child with challenges, and a mom whose young daughter is pregnant. I'm a father of 2 kids and know how much energy it takes to parent and work. I don't think I could be a good parent and give the attention and energy it takes to hold such high political office.[Job] Ms. Palin has a very full plate. What will she put second?
You've just made the same erroneous argument that has been used against women for decades in the work place - that a women with a child can't work effectively.
Women can raise children and hold the highest offices, whether in business or politics.
