I'm no cheerleader for any of the two political parties. Liberal leaning, I do cast my lot with the diluted Democrats.
I guess you didn't agree with Hillary when she exhorted her supporters to back Obama?

I could be wrong. 1 in 12 might be for 48 and older, but I know her chances are greatly increased. We're back to a fight against evil this year at the polls as far as I'm concerned. I just wish I knew clearly who was the devil.

The underlying question is why a woman of 44 years chose to have a fifth child knowing damn well that older mothers (relatively) have a far greater chance of having a child with birth defects. Is it that irresponsible Christian evangelist bent to have as many children as feasibly possible behind it? Is she against birth control or is it her husband that opposes it? Her choice to even get pregnant, barring an 'accident', shows incredibly poor judgement. It's not like she didn't already have children. But, hey, she does not 'believe' in evolution and supports teaching creationism in public schools- why should I be suprised, right?
