I also have a brother who has Downe's Syndrome.?? Has never had a heart 
problem, and functions fairly well, with occasional assistance with stocking 
the fridge, and laundry.? I don't have any idea of the severity of the Palin 
childs condition, but physically, it's possible it could be very minor.?? I 
have even known downe's syndrome kids who are fairly intelligent, above 
average infact.?? Makes me wonder what those would have been like had they 
not had the extra chromosome.

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
