Not just another Hockey Mom

I was in the Xcel convention center last night when Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech. I liked her before, after listening to her speech I also respect her. Much has been made of her reference to being a hockey mom. To me, it shows another facet of her personality and what has made her the woman she is today. Speculation is rampant about whether she is qualified for the Vice President position which I encourage. The better informed a voter is, the better choice will be made. However, for the press and especially MSNBC to continually harp on her personal life and choices goes to far. Susan Estrich had a great article that speaks to this issue.
