She needs to keep them at home, out of the political ring and out of the public's eye. Children do not belong there..... her oldest daughter was dragged through the muck by the press, but Palin did not learn a lesson from that.
If she wants to be a politician, she needs to act like one, in all areas!

you do not sound like someone who adapts to change easily; nor someone who wishes to keep up with the times. ever since world war 2 women have been entering a number of arenas that have been traditional male bastions. not that i was around, but rosie the riveter comes to mind from my history books and tales around the dinner table.
just think back...if men had not been called to war and conscripted to fight would women have been forced to enter the work force? would women then have had to wage their own crusade to seek equal pay for equal work? i can remember my friends being drafted into the viet nam war and returning from it to not so nice receptions. at the same time i remember hearing that women should get out of the workforce so that a vet can have her job.
having sarah palin out in front in the political arena should remind everyone of the roles that women are
required to play in today's society...and bringing [not dragging or pushing] her children with her shows the versatility that women must exercise and can exercise
because they are women.
final thoughts to ponder...women resolve thru the use of a support network and negotiation/men resolve by taking it to athletic competition where someone must win or lose...perhaps if we had more women in elected offices as well as just plain active in politics we would have fewer wars and fewer children would be buried by their parents.
stepping down from my soap box now...
