And that to me is more important than any office, and job, anything else out side this family. Do you not see how many times you contradict yourself?
That last sentence is exactly what I would say, followed by, "Governor of Alaska is more success than I ever dreamed of, so we'll be happy out of the lime light".
How can you say you're all pro-family values and then say it would destroy your son to know that he kept you from success - success being that next rung on the career ladder. I always thought the democratic party's measure of success was balancing a career with a family without forcing parents to abandon their children for a job, not glory hopping up the political chain.

If I said I couldn't run because my son made a mistake.... and that was the reason I chose not to run..... then I would scar him.
If I took the offer and stood up next to my son and showed him the respect and unconditional love I have for him and that I CAN ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH HIM NO MATTER WHAT.
Then I am far far from hypocritical. Mrs. Palin shows that to me. I have utmost respect and admiration for her right now. It goes far beyond any politics it goes to my being a parent and wondering if I could ever have that strength and class she shows.
Did the Clintons abandon Chelsea, did Jimmy Carter abandon Amy, did JFK abandon his kids..... oh wait it's just the women that can't do this..... but does the Democratic Party not support women who want families and success???? Or just those women who share the same political views?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
