Ditto here ... her daughter's pregnancy - that is really not relevant IMO but I'm more concerned that she will not be taking care of her four-month-old. My parents raised five children - one with special needs and I know, know how important it was to have one parent always there. My dad was the primary breadwinner so it was basically my mother who made the calls for drs, dentists, new schools etc. as we moved a lot. I know nothing about how she and her husband parent now - going from mayor of a 6,000+ city and then governor to possible VP is a huge leap. I think we will learn a lot more in the next few weeks. While the VP traditionally has not been at the forefront - she will have to travel (and get / use a passport) and she won't be able to bring her family in tow.
