So what would the Democrats have said if McCain had turned down Palin for VP because she had kids to take care of?
Dems make these charges and then back away. My belief is that they think that they can still get the points out there with relatively little damage to themselves. Anyway, here is yet another one of these statements.
An original member of Barack Obama’s finance committee said Friday that Sarah Palin is putting her career above her family by accepting the nomination as John McCain’s running mate.
Howard Gutman made the argument on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” telling the radio host that the Alaska governor should focus her energy on her unwed, pregnant teenage daughter.
“If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem … I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast it to the world’,” he said.
Gutman later added: “If you take a daughter who’s got this emotional strife and subject her to the most intense scrutiny of the world at this time in her life, I think you’ve put your career above your family. . . .

You cannot win with contrarians. Most metro-libs, being essentially coreless, operate by simply going after what their opponents say, do, or hold as principles and attempting to tear it down. It's a dirty business, but they are good at it and it gives them pleasure apparently.
Belief Growing That Reporters are Trying to Help Obama Win
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey, taken just before the new controversy involving the New York Times erupted, found that 49% of voters believe most reporters will try to help the Democrat with their coverage, up from 44% a month ago.
Just 14% believe most reporters will try to help McCain win, little changed from 13% a month ago. Just one voter in four (24%) believes that most reporters will try to offer unbiased coverage.
