Depends upon the age of the children. In Mrs. Palin's case, she has the 4-mo old son and another girl that looks to be about 4 yrs. old. The other 3 are grown children, including the 17yr old who will soon be married and a mother herself.

So I don't see a problem here. Also, Mrs. Palin has a great husband, staff, and now Secret Service watching over the safety of everyone.

I'm very impressed by what I have seen so far and knew about Mrs. Palin previous to her receiving the VP spotlight.

Sure beats the alternative for me too.
