Renee, I was hoping we could just talk about the campaign without taking sides, and so far so good! I think Josie might know better than me about Cindy McCains background. I believe her family has something to do with Anheuser Bush Beer (spelling?) It takes a boatload of money to campaign. Josie, it's not that anyone heard Palin say that family comes first. The televised sound bite was of the opinion that Palin "should" put her family first. Governor Palin has a high threshold for coping. I'm so interested in hearing more. It (the campaign) isn't over until... it's over. And then some. L
