    Wheres My Mommy?

    Here is a woman who has four young children including a special needs infant. She is embarking on an exausting sixty day full court press and if she is elected she will have to assume the duties of Vice President Of The United States.

    In essence, she is abandoning her children if she takes that job.

    There is also no guarantee that she will not become pregnant again. She certainly is not qualifed to hold the highest office in the land and she will be the one if something should happen to the seventy two year old candidate.

    Taken together, this is a ridiculos ticket and if they should be successful we could see the Fall of the Roman Empire again- up close.
