[quote Black Landlord][quote karsen]I'm all for checking candidate's backgrounds for issues relevant to the job they are after. But over the last few days some of the stuff that has been published about Palin and her family have are down right spiteful and nothing to do with her ability to be VP.
I agree. But much of it has also been relevant and necessary.
Like her daughter giving birth to a Downs baby and Palin raising it?
Or her daughter's pregnancy?
Or her husband's DUI?
Or her daughter drinking?
Or that she shouldn't be VP because she has too many kids?
Very little of the Palin "news" has been relevant to her being VP.
The only things I've really heard about her that could be considered relevant is the State Trooper firing incident. She's welcomed an investigation and I'm interested to hear more.
The polar bear lawsuit interests me too. I'd like to hear a reporter question her more on that instead of running around looking for DNA samples.
It's a shame the media is focusing on digging up family dirt instead of looking at some of the things she's done in her career. Good or bad, let's focus on the things she's done in politics and get off this family stuff. It's despicable.
