As a new mom, how are you going to juggle all this? SARAH: I am thankful to be married to a man who loves being a dad as much as I love being a mom so he is my strength. And practically speaking, we have a great network of help with lots of grandparents and aunties and uncles all around us. We have a lot of help.
So will your husband be on leave now indefinitely to be Mr. Mom?
SARAH: I would say so, yes.
Gov. Palin, when you were 13 weeks pregnant, last December, you had an amniocentesis that determined Trig had Down syndrome.
SARAH: I was grateful to have all those months to prepare. I can't imagine the moms that are surprised at the end. I think they have it a lot harder.

Mr. Palin, you have this tiny baby with special needs. Do you worry that people may wonder if she'll be giving short shrift to her family?
TODD: She's heard that her whole life – the challenges of being a female and mother in the work force. I remember the first time she ran for mayor one of her fellow council members told her you can't run because you've got three negatives: Track, Bristol and Willow. Those are the three kids we had at the time. So when you tell her that kind of stuff, she just gets fired up. We're an Alaska family that adapts.

Sarah’s certainly no slouch. Her sub 4 hour Humpy’s Marathon put her in the top 25% of all finishers in that race. Her time as a 41 yr old was more than 1 minute per mile faster than what Oprah ran in her only marathon at age 40.

Sitting back and looking at this, I believe this was the best running mate McCain could have picked.
This woman is incredible, because of who she is and what she has done!
This presidential race has been turned upside down!
The Democrat attack machine will start ripping on her
Nice.

Doesn’t get more sexist than that.
I suppose the Kennedy’s should have dropped out of sight since they had families the size of baseball teams.
No one asked Al Gore how he was going to manage the VP slot with all his kids.
The Democrats have been desperately trying to glue all the pieces of the Glass Ceiling back together all day.
What an awesome family - Trig is a lucky boy to have so many sibs watching over him.
Followed your orders ~ ! Thank you ~ !
