I'm going to toss my comments into the ring here.

Going into this election I was dead set on not voting for Obama, I don't like the man and I'm still that way. I've never been one for the Republican party, but I have to say that even while still being a Clinton fan, I was thinking McCain wasn't a bad choice.

When McCain picked Palin as his running mate I figured it was mostly a choice to garner some attention considering we've had a popular race with a female all through the year.

I've done the research and Palin is okay with me. I like the fact that she seems like a normal person, she's had hardships and I appreciate that. Obama is upper class and snooty whereas I feel like Palin more or less can relate to the average American.

I hate that people are looking down on her for having an unmarried pregnant daughter. Even the best of mothers can have children make mistakes. My parents are wonderful people and raised three good kids, but my sister made a mistake and got pregnant, this doesn't mean our parents were unfit or less loving, children will be children and we don't always do what we're told. I have a beautiful neice and I wouldn't take anything back if given the choice. I hate that people are making this such a big deal when in today's world it's fairly an average incident.

I also must say that as a family member of someone with a mental hardship, I appreciated Sarah's comment about this. It meant alot.
