Last time (2006) the MP Women's Club did it, but it could be anyone who wants to take the time to organize it. I do want to mention that the MP Republican Committee will have it's quarterly meeting at the MP Police Station on Manassas Drive in the community room starting at 7pm on Monday, Sept 15. I will be there, if you'd like to get involved, or just want to find out what's going on, please come. I am hoping that someone will host a Q/A session for the incumbents and candidates.

As far as I am concerned, her presence strengthens McCain's prospects. She understands family life and the struggles that many women have balancing families and careers. I would much rather vote for the likes of her than the elitist, inexperienced sham that is Obama. If picking on her because she has a high-powered career and is raising children is the best attack Anonymous and others can come up with, then I am very encouraged at Palin's prospects.

Perhaps my strong reaction is days of hearing about how great Sarah Palin is, like she is the second coming of Christ. I get two calls a day as the designated special needs mom to ask what I think. Perhaps I was foolish to think any of our friendly BVBL/HSM types would care about my thoughts. I think she should be giving her time to her new baby with some extraordinary needs and her pregnant teenage daughter rather than running for vice president.

What a bunch of self-righteous, old-school thinking. I'm pretty sure that if your paid employment was in any way meaningful, you wouldn't waste your time condemning women who have demanding careers. What do you do for a living, pass out smiley stickers at Wal-mart? Yeah, we get that you put your kid first, and anyone who you think doesn't has screwed-up priorities in your vapid mind. And you have totally discounted the role of the child's father. Is he not capable of taking care of his special needs child? Haven't you noticed that the children of Presidents and VP's tend to go to private schools and enjoy many resources and advantages that the rest of us don't? Is Daddy not good enough? Does your child's father do ANYTHING right?

I’m sure she thought long and hard before accepting this position on the ticket." Your very answer suggests that farming out her child to someone else's care is acceptable because he has special needs. “Perhaps this VP job will afford Palin opportunities for her son to have access into some of the finest “special needs” schools in the country.
