So the story is Palin needed to go back to Alaska last weekend to spend time with her son...

who is deploying to Iraq, but John McCain tells her to stay with him because it's the only way he can draw a crowd and she does. Sounds like another instance of Palin putting her career ahead of her children.

2. She's supposed to be back today.

Rumor is that the local press in Faibanks is being excluded from her appearances.

5. Since when are we concerned about a woman putting her career over her children

She can do what she wants.

It's when her public statements don't match her actions that I'm pissed.

It's not that she had a child with special needs.

It's that she uses that child for political gain by saying she will now be a voice in the White House for special needs children, and in her first budget as Gov. she cut special education by 63% as well as cutting funding for unwed mothers.

If she wants to end abortion, how about making it easier for expectant parents to contemplate keeping the child by not cutting money to programs that would help them.

I thought it was sad when the McCain campaign slammed Biden for talking about who cared more about special education, saying that using Palin's situation was low. Well, she uses it, so that puts it into play as far as I'm concerned. And it's a fair question to ask when her record doesn't match her statements.

7. no this point was brought up by Chuck Todd last nite with

Keith, Sarah will be off the campaign trail with mc insane but Todd said they are wondering what this going to his McCains numbers of people who will see him. My opinion, I want to see the numbers of people seeing less of him, then the media will start saying the people are not to see McCain they are only out to see Palin, and who are these people who are supporting her, I would love to see them bring out the religious righties are only propping her up.
