If you want to know the impact of McCain's choice I've got a scoop.
My Mom is the secretary for a local Private school for special needs children. Once the parents found out that Palin has a child with down syndrome that is all they would talk about when the parents picked up their kids yesterday afternoon. Everything was overly positive and all of them will be voting for McCain/Palin (and some of these parents are liberal). Whether it is true or not the perception is that if McCain is elected the person a heartbeat away from the Presidency will understand what it is like to be a parent with a special needs child and understands their needs.
