It’s the same pickle Kerry was in.
If you address the accusation, you spread them even faster and confirm them in peoples minds.
If you dont address the accusation, you let the accusation stand, which comes off as an admission of guilt.
Kerry chose silence for weeks. Seeing the damage it inflicted (ha!), he made the wrong choice.
Palin needs to disarm this by addressing the substance of the accusation, which is to speak clearly on why Bristol was out of school and out of the house while Sarah was pregnant, which is the big ‘evidence’ that’s giving this thing legs.
Kerry’s problem was that it was true. Can’t defend against cold hard facts.
I agree with JR. I also feel she can very effectively address this without addressing it at all. There are numerous occasions when children, disabled children, moral issues (ie: abortion, marriage, family, pregnancy), health care, even education, come up on the campaign trail. She will have ample opportunity to address it without even acknowledging she is doing so, by just telling her story. And I do stress without acknowledging the lies.

Or you can decline to dignify the drivel with a response, which is often a great tactic. You can’t get hanged for what you don’t say.
This is from the same media that we should respect Al Gore’s pill popping dope smoking train wreck of a son as a private family matter.....lol.
