What about the children?

With all the talk about how many kids Palin has, and that Palin's daughter is pregnant, I have to wonder what the Democrats are trying to say.

Let me remind my readers of the exchange (the subject was the war in Iraq) between Senator Boxer and Secretary of State Rice during a Senate hearing in early 2007 (Boxer is the speaker, referring to Rice)

Who pays the price? I’m not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young. You’re not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family. So who pays the price? The American military and their families. And I just want to bring us back to that fact.


Hmmm. As I recall, not only does Palin have kids (and soon a grandchild), she has a son who is in the military and headed to Iraq. And, I believe, McCain has two sons in the military.

I guess this means that Boxer is going to come out in support of the McCain/Palin ticket, right?
