Family first Sarah

Track is returning home from Iraq this weekend and Palin skipped a high-profile opportunity, the Values Voters Summit in Washington, to welcome him home.

"The Palins are expecting the return of eldest son Track this weekend from a yearlong deployment with an Army combat brigade in Iraq," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton told The Washington Times. "Mrs. Palin also has her first major paid speaking engagement in Hong Kong" in a few days, she added.

The Left always tries to paint Palin as an aggressive career-opportunist, foaming at the mouth at any chance to get on TV and makes speeches. Absolutely not true. She's always put her family first as she should, which is why we love her.

Mike Huckabee ended up winning the Value Voters Summit straw poll - congratulations to him.
