During the August 29 edition of CNN Newsroom, CNN anchor John Roberts said to congressional correspondent Dana Bash: "There's also this issue that, on April 18, she [Palin] gave birth to a baby with Down syndrome. The baby is just slightly more than 4 months old now. Children with Down syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of vice president, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?" Bash replied: "That's a very good question, and, I guess -- my guess is that perhaps the line inside the McCain campaign would be, if it were a man being picked who also had a baby, but, you know, four months ago with Down syndrome, would you ask the same question?"

if anyone here actually has experience raising a child with down syndrome and can actually speak to the necessary demands, please speak up.

otherwise let's entertain a discussion about how little time obama will have to spare for his daughters, who are at an incredibly impressionable age where their father's consistent presence in their lives is most important.

nothing ever changes here.
