Mother of the Year

Uses her kids as human shields, awesome:

"The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, 'How dare they boo Piper!'"

No wonder she is ever more beloved by people who are not in the beltway:

The attacks that McCain and Palin launched have failed. In fact, Sarah Palin's fav/unfav is now a record 36/58 or - 22. That's Bush territory.

The above has relevance for Palin's so-called "bright future" in the Republican party. A loss, for example, and those fav/unfav numbers suggest otherwise. It makes it harder for Palin to hang a loss on McCain's neck when she's dropping like a stone herself.
