Palin Is NOT Motherly

Ironically, Sarah Palin would've been a better pick for VP if she had said "no" when asked by McCain to be his mate.
Saying "no" would have been the wise answer. Her young, unmarried daughter is due to birth a baby this winter, in the midst of all the election chaos.
It would have been compassionate and generous of her to remain more private in this tumultuous year her 17-year-old daughter is having.
It would have been motherly.
Instead she put Bristol's name out there front and center.
If Gov. Palin threw her teenaged daughter to the blogger wolves for career achievement, what will she do to the rest of us?

It would have been wiser to say no, since her other young son, an infant with a major handicap, needs much more attention than any working woman can give.
It would have been compassionate and generous of her to wait for baby Tig to grow up a little, before adding to her workload and business travel schedule.
It would have been motherly.

Palin governs a state of only 670,000 residents, smaller than Fort Worth, TX.
She might get overlooked next time if she passes on this chance. She most likely would get overlooked, as qualified women will be coming through the ranks.
Initially I thought it was McCain who had made a desperate move by choosing Palin.
Now I think the desperate one is Palin, don't you?
