Reply #19: I think that argument is a bit bunk. I mean, Barack Obama, only two

[beachmom]

years into his Senate term decided to run for POTUS. He also had relatively young children and was going up against a major powerhouse, Hillary Clinton. The proof is in the pudding. If Setti has "IT" then he can win. I just think, as a Mom, that he should set up iron clad babysitting provisions -- as in someone who can be there when he and his wife are out campaigning (or can be there when the baby is born and his wife has so much work to do with the new one). The Obamas did that with Michelle's mother. So if he gets his house in order, comes up with a message and narrative, why not? I mean somebody like Cory Booker is very content running Newark, while raising his profile with programs he is spearheading. But not everyone is Cory Booker, you know. Some want to do other things, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
