Jon just came home from school, and said that his secretary (a very smart and savvy lady who is also - unfortuntely - very very conservative. She said that she was very disappointed with the choice McCain made. She doesn't think a woman SHOULD be president.

With so much talk about pandering to women, I never really thought about the ultra-conservatives who might very well not believe that a married, mother of five with a down's syndrome baby should be attempting to take on this kind of responsibility outside the home.
