One comment I want to make in response to media inquiries regarding Sarah Palin and who will be raising her children if / WHEN she's in office would be this: The same person(s) that help raise the Clinton's, Reagan's, Ford's and Carter's, that's who!
Plus you can't tell me that should Obama win, that his wife is just going to quit her job and be a stay at home mom to raise her kids.
(Who has been raising them since the campaign began?)

What do people think that a Vice President actually does? Except for when she's traveling as the President's representative, her main job would be presiding over the Senate when it's in full session--she doesn't even have to attend committee meetings. The Senate also has a President pro tem who does that job if the VP can't be there.
By this logic, every Senator with young children should resign, too, as their job is even more time intensive that the VPs
An active in policy affairs VP like Cheney is a historical aberration. Do the people in the media understand that we've had 50-odd VPs besides Cheney, and that most of them were equally insignificant unless they had to succeed the President?
Being VP is the ultimate part-time job.
