I highly recommend DailKos.com. It is a good progressive political website. Perhaps the best out there. I have a hard time reading a good chunk of the contributers because some are out there but Markos Mulitsas is a solid writer. He flagged this from Andrew Sullivan today:
Here's one way to look at the question: how has Palin brought up her own kids? Her eldest son is a high-school drop-out. Her eldest daughter has had, so far as one can tell from press reports, very uneven attendance in high school, and no plans for college. Her other daughters seem to spend a lot of time traveling the country with their mom at tax-payers' expense. I've seen them at several rallies with the Palins this fall. Are they not in school?
The least one can say is that none of her children seems to have been brought up thinking that college is something to aspire to. And her new son-in-law just dropped out of high school as well.
I don't like it when families are brought into political campaigns especially when they are really just kids. What I think is fair game, is parenting. College is an option for some and not an option for others but allowing your kids or son in law to drop out of school in this day and age, shows how really out of touch Gov. Palin is. The kid having a kid means nothing to me. The kid being allowed to drop out of school speaks volumes. These three paragraphs are a must read (for both parties and all ideologies) before you vote.
