Homestead mailing list

One of my brothers has a downs syndrome child.  It is a time-consuming 
endeavor.  There will probably be heart surgeries, etc., very soon, for the 
Governor's child. 

 However, Gov. Palin does have, as her husband, a man willing to be a full 
time dad, and she has other family support.  I admire her for being able to 
do all that she does. 

 I read , recently, about her changing her baby's diaper, I believe, right 
before her debate.  She could have hired someone to do that.  

I don't know if she would be, in the long term a good president.  But, since 
Reagan, I don't think we have had a single good president (that is just my 
opinion). 

 I do like the ideal of a smart, working person representing the people, as 
opposed to our present monopoly of professional students, lawyers and 
politicians .  ...bobford
