The MOMocrats are delighted to welcome Kristen of Poligots who weighs in on role models in the Vice-President's office.
The choice of Sarah Palin has seemed to throw the doors wide open for conservatives and progressives alike to discuss, and sometimes judge, the role of parents in the political realm. No doubt the conversations will further ignite now that Palin’s 17 year old daughter, Bristol has gone public with her own pregnancy.
I have my own thoughts - how exhausted must Palin be with a small baby? What about Bristol’s privacy? Did she ask to have this play out on a national stage?
I'm sure that Palin will do what she needs to for her family, as Joe Biden did for his.
I'm sure that this will likewise not mean her giving up public office, as Joe Biden did not either.
Thank you for this confirmation of what many of us believe about the positive capabilities of parents who work, work in the public eye, and who have small children and a good family support system.
