I know that I, myself, would not have emotionally been able to do that. 1. why would one bring a 4 month old child, any child, to a convention with thousands of people and millions of germs??

Life goes on. I am not sure Palin understands the challenge her family will face mainly with social bias and government (schools and adult severces) lack of support. It sure would be nice to have a champion in the White House to support our cause. The current administration has done a lot of harm to services, cuts to medicaid, not funding social security staffing, and I fear that continued Republican role in the White House. But I hope the disability advocates play this opportunity up. What an opportunity to show the world that we are like everyone else. Life goes on.

America doesn't need Palin, Trig needs his mom. What a selfish act on McCain's part. What happened to family values? Palin’s first priority should be her son Trig.
