This isn't political but just a comment about what I observed during the Palin speech. As Dr. Phil has said numerous times "the #1 most influential person in a child's life is the same sex parent." I watched as Mr. Palin handed the newest member of their family over to their youngest daughter. She took this child so gently and I watched as the camera panned to her as she was wetting her palm and slicking down the baby's hair. I chuckled
at this but it also touched my heart. Another time she was gently wiping the baby's eyes. Obviously there is a lot of love in this family and it was certainly reflected in this little girl's face and in her actions. I have made no decision about the election but will certainly be watching the debates so I can make a knowledgeable decision.
