So the Republican vice presidential candidate has 5 kids, one an infant with Down's Syndrome and another one 17 and pregnant? And we're supposed to believe that if something happened to McCain that she, as superwoman, would be able to assume the role of president, juggle the demands of her large family AND focus all of her attention on running the country? Even if her husband is stay at home dad of the year, a family this large and complex requires a lot of time and devotion to raise - more, I would say, than what one parent could provide. Which brings me to two equally disturbing conclusions- either the affairs of the country would take a back seat to Palin's family life or her family life would take a back seat to the affairs of the country. Either way, this is not a very confidence inspiring scenario.
