I know. I myself opined (back in ‘08) that Palin wouldn’t do it because she’d just had a baby, specifically one with Down Syndrome, and would be too busy being a mommy for the job.
Shows you what I knew.
I knew she was governor of Alaska but not much else about her and when I read here what people thought of her I really started to pay attention.
No matter what the subject, here in FR there are always at least a few people who are very well informed.
