I hope she’s not going anywhere. I’m tired of the whole bunch—from the Greta kitchen interviews with Palin to Bristol blabbing about the uselessness of abstinence education. The Palin clan should take a long hike in the wilds of Alaska and get lost. And, should she run for president, Heaven forbid, I hope her handlers insist that she get a babysitter for her litter. The image of her trailing around the country with her whole clan in tow to what were essentially job interviews didn’t help John McCain or promote the idea that these people were serious about running the country. How many of you would go to a job interview and drag along your obviously pregnant daughter, mentally-challenged son, and long-suffering husband? How far do you think you would get?

Ahh, another Palin hater. We have them in spades on FR. Most of trolls, some are just stupid.

In your opinion then, no one who runs for office should ever bring family along? What do you think the media would have done if she had left them home? And no, she was not doing job interviews, and if you think she hurt McCain's chances you just didn't pay attention. You are probably a mitt lover or a lover of one of the other RINOs who didn't get the nomination because the RINO McCain was picked for us.

McCain was losing very badly before Palin came along, and she didn't volunteer to run for VP, as you and others seem to think, she was picked by McCain because he just knew she would guarantee a loss for him. He never intended to win.

Every candidate takes their families with them, EVERY candidate for President ALWAYS takes their families with them.

Sure, He picked her because he knew she
guaranteed a loss, and you want her to be the
candidate in the next election.
I liked Sarah Palin, but I am having
serious second thoughts if her supporters
are as unhinged as the people here seem to be.

long-suffering husband?..that one stumped me.

I believe the family gathering aka family portrait was to introduce the family to voters. Happens in every election. You start hiding crazy Uncle Joe or Crazy Aunt Mary out their panhandling and sooner or later you get found out. By the way, no insult to Joe Biden. Plus nice to already have a dog and not just beam one up, because it's the right image.

However, if you are a tax cheat..you try to hide that as long as possible or if there is a lawyer in the family. ;)
