Of course politicians with young children should and do run, she said, especially women--but children with Down Syndrome need a lot of help and care from both parents, and the fact that she would spend the next 2 months completely caught up in a whirlwind of campaigning, let alone 4 years in the VP chair, made her wonder if Sarah even WANTED the job.
