“Last April, when Palin gave birth to her fifth child, she dutifully returned to her work as governor after three days."

Does it cross your mind that Todd may be the one taking care of the kids?

People.com | Sep. 2008:Palin met husband Todd when both were seniors at Wasilla High School, northeast of Anchorage, the same year the former Sarah Heath cocaptained the girls' basketball team to a state title. The pair eloped on Aug. 29, 1988; Palin gave birth to their son Track the following April. After Trig's birth, Todd took a leave of absence from his job as a production operator for an oil company to handle child-care duties. Asked last week if her joining the GOP ticket has extended his Mr. Mom leave indefinitely, Palin replied, "I would say so, yes."

"A few years prior, while serving as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she kept her infant daughter in a car seat under her desk while she worked in her office.”

The reporter of this "story" offers no context of the situation or even no hint how she comes to think that this is true.

Are you really going to hang your hat on this kind of out-of-context, unsourced reporting?

You can believe nothing is true if that is your wish. That’s what followers do.

No matter what Sarah claims, Todd isn’t taking care of the kids:

In 2007, in order to avoid a conflict of interest relating to his wife’s position as governor, he took a leave from his job as production supervisor when his employer became involved in natural gas pipeline negotiations with his wife’s administration. Seven months later, because the family needed more income, Todd returned to BP. In order to avoid potential conflict of interest, this time he accepted a non-management position as a production operator. He is also a commercial salmon fisherman at Bristol Bay on the Nushugak River. Financial statements filed in 2007 show that Palin earned $92,790 from BP and fishing.
