John McCain's VP candidate has acknowledged that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant and plans to marry the father of the child. A release from Sarah Palin's camp says the Alaska governor's daughter made the decision to keep the child and marry the father on her own. Any thoughts on Palin accepting the VP nomination from McCain when she knew her daughter's pregnancy would wind up in the media? 5 CommentsLeave a comment |

You know this is the part of POLITICS that just makes you want to REGURGITATE. What the heck does this woman's daughter and her being pregnant have to do, with her mother running for VICE PRESIDENT?
If that is the best, our DEMOCRATS, can do then they should just keep their mouth shut. This is, painful family business, not the NATIONS BUSINESS and it is the sensationalism of some reporters that cause this kind of distraction to occur.

Uh, Jim, what the hell are you talking about? The Democrats didn't attack the daughter or exploit this issue at all. As a matter of fact, when Obama was questioned about it, he adamantly declared that this has no place in politics, has nothing to do with the abilities of the VP, and that he would fire anyone in his campaign that suggested otherwise.
It doesn't surprise me that the Dems are somehow blamed for this. Typical spin.
I'm sorry, but you failed to mention which office the younger Palin is seeking.
It was not the DEMOCRATS that started this media hype, it was THE MEDIA. And, it sucks!
NO need to delve into the life of the children of an candidate for public office. Unless your too high on drugs to take your flight test then that is news . . .
Tell, me ? ? ? ? Who has perfect children?
Dang, we all stump a toe on the way to adulthood.
So, I just wish this story would die out so the public can get on with a more meaningful, significant part of the race.
Strange someone actually thought this issue is news worthy. At least she has apparently decided to have her baby, totally unlike the other 4000 or so who commit murder by abortion every day. But this is "legal" isn't it? This is a mere fraction of the various controversial issues during the Clinton years which went mostly un-noticed by the liberal press. Or perhaps I only dreamed that, I can't remember clearly.
