Well, she has a flexible husband and no one questioned Biden's ability to join the Senate when he was tragically left a single dad right before assuming his seat. Also, she's a lot more hands on as a Governor than a Veep ever is and she seems to be doing OK with that.

>>Auuggghghhhh.....you are making me crazy, Tamar. Can she do the job or can't she? Again the sophistry about this, that, and the other thing being a mother, etc. Blah blah.

>>Can she do the job? That's the only relevant question. Yes or No.

>1) Does she have the qualifications to do the job? This one is unknown. The fact that not very long ago, she didn't even know what the job entailed certainly raises questions in my mind.

>2) Will she be forced to make hard decisions between her job and her family? No question, as pretty much all working parents are forced to do that. The difference here is that with this job, the job always must win.

>Note that I'm not saying that #2 disqualifies her. I just think that it's reasonable to be aware of that. I know that I would not have chosen a job that had to always come first when I had young children at home. She may be comfortable with that.
