Consider this one (of many) data points in her decision matrix.
Having a down syndrome child who every month falls farther behind the developmental curve. Hard to know what that learning trajectory was going to be a year or six months ago.
(I noticed that Mrs. Palin was none too pleased that Greta brought up Trig's marking on her ipad with a permanent marker).
I am sure that over the past several months the level of longer term care her youngest is going to require is coming more clearly into focus and she wasn't going to sacrifice her time with him for an office.
It’s possible. Still, her reasons are her business, not mine. I find it irritating that people make negative assumptions on Palin when she’s been through so much crap.
I’m disappointed too, but some people are outright bitter and that’s unreasonable.
