I would comment on whether her duties of a VP of the United States, assuming McCain is elected President, would conflictgs with her duties of a mother.
I have always thought that whether or not there would be a conflict depends on requirements of the job. What would Ms. Palin be doing in the first 2 years as Vice President. I suspect she would be going to meetings, and doing alot of reading. I don’t think that her travel schedule need be heavy. In short, I think that most of the work, except the meetings, can be done at home. I assume she would not have to do the cooking, the cleaning, and the laundry. I assume she would not have operational duties, like overseeing a task force to come up with a new health care plan. If my assumptions are correct, then I do not see any conflict, especially if the husband helps out.
High income mothers have advantages over lower income mothers. High income mothers may have more flexible schedules and may be able to hire help to cook, clean and do the laudry. I believe in government assistance for low income mothers who work. I am less supportive of government assistance to higher income mothers
