pomtzu - I was agreeing that there would be extra time away from home. Didn't mean to sound like you agreed with this. But just that that kind of schedule would affect ANY White House couple - and no one raises the same concerns about the man in the situation.

For example - if it was Sarah's husband who was running mate, I don't think this thread would even have come up, because 'the wife' would be there to take up the domestic slack. Her husband would have the same potentially crazy schedule - but a lot of these questions would not have come up.

I just wanted to point out the double standard, that's all. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I'm sorry.
