Yes, Governor Palin's new baby has Down's Syndrome. The rest of that story is that she and her husband knew that during the pregnancy and never considered aborting which proves that she LIVES her values. IIRC she has described this child as a gift from God that brings great joy to their lives.

I'm sure the DBs would attack her as being cruel to the baby and the rest of the family in the expectation that 99% of the country would agree with them. Might be some unintended consequences on that one.

She has said herself that she wants to be at home with her family. She has been very effective in cleaning up the corruption (including Republican) in Alaska and has said she wants to stay there.

OTOH it can be pretty enticing to help save the country from Obama and hopefully to help guide McCain... I'll try to stay out of those weeds for now.

IMO the good thing about being VP is that she would have less actual responsibility as VP than Gov and could spend time with her family if they all come to DC. However, they are ALL outdoors people and very active, so DC would be a negative in that respect.

OTOOH if she'd be a likely president from 2012 to 2020 that would be hard to resist.

Also, what should be irrelevant,but isn't, She's drop dead gorgeous. Also might be a draw for disappointed Hillary fems.

Also, has terrific broadcasting skills. Whether she has a background in journalism like Kay Bailey Hutchinson, or not, I don’t know, but she is a very ‘articulate’ speaker.
