Marc Ambinder asks, among other things, if the question of whether Sarah Palin, the mother of a five-month old baby (or so she says...), can be a full-time political campaigner is a legitimate one.
He thinks it is: [It's] one that will be on the minds of many mothers and fathers who struggle to balance work and family life, and given the rigors of a presidential campaign and the extreme rigors of being the vice president, it's one that Palin herself will probably find a way to answer down the line.
I disagree. The question wouldn't be asked of a man, end of story. If she can run for VP, I imagine she can sort out her own childcare arrangements.
