People of modest intellect or principled resources usually make ad hominem arguments when they cannot reasonably argue on principle, policy or merit. That line of attack is universally accepted as a sign of weakness. You, however, sink beneath even that standard. You hammer McCain and his designated VP nominee, Gov. Palin, by using the Governor's minor daughter as the anvil on which to form your argument that Governor Palin is not qualified to be the candidate. Leave the kid out of it. Have you no shame, Ms. Quinn?

You also spoke of a 'cynical and calculated move' as well as a choice 'made to try to win an election'. The nerve of that man McCain making a decision that he believed would help him win the election. Do you suggest he make a choice designed for him to lose? Please, Ms. Quinn, you of all people are not naive; do not assume that your readers are.

Now that you remind me, I believe that the arena 'of a cynical and calculated move' is one with which you have personal experience. I seem to remember that some 40 years ago there was a young, good looking, ambitious blond named Sally. She had a Boss named Ben. Sally entered a romantic relationship with Boss Ben that resulted in a number of events: Boss Ben's divorce, Sally's promotions, Ben's and Sally's marriage to one another, Sally's inclusion to Washington's A-list, pictures (a/k/a publicity) appearing every other week in pseudo-glamour rags such as W, Vanity Fair, etc.

In closing, Ms. Quinn, please exercise more professionalism if you are still a journalist and more Christianity if you are merely a pundit. My parents advised me some 60 years ago of the danger of people who threw rocks and lived in glass houses. Good day and God bless you.

“McCain’s pick may not even find support among ‘family values’ voters.”

What nonsense, the opposite is true. Values voters like myself don’t condon this daughter’s premarital sex, but it is done. The “sin” aspects of this is between her and God, and the church she belongs to. I DO commend her for chosing life and to have the child. And I certainly don’t hold Governor Palin and husband accountable.

I have had too many neices that were raised in a “family values” home that still messed up sexually. Being pregnant is NOT a sin, it is the getting there that is. And as I have said, God is the the forgiveness business where genuine repentance takes place. Once again, that is between her and God.

Personally, I see this as a non-issue. It is incredibly stupid of the Dems attack machines to keep bringing this up...it is going to bite them on the backside.

I’m also tired of the ridiculous attacks that say she shouldn’t run for VP with a Down’s Syndrome child. They have already made it clear that Mr. Palin will be the primary care giver for the children.

I have seen a lot of blogs, etc. on the MSM where women voters are saying they have now decided to vote for Obama because of Palin’s pick. I think this is blantant lies. Those individuals had already chosen Senator Obama and they hope to sway the genuine undecided.

Palin was and is a good choice. God willing, if McCain wins, she may be the next president in 4 to 8 years.
