The best thing is that this sucks the oxygen out of any discussion of Obama/Biden during the Repub Convention. Now, EVERYONE will be hearing the Palin speech tomorrow night.
This morning radio news in Cincinnati included some comment by some newscaster (a left-winger) that said: Daughter’s pregnant, husband’s DUI, and fired the guy who didn’t fire her sister’s abusive husband. That was it.
Three issues:
1. Daughter’s pregnant: Personal business, but the truth is that the young woman is 17 years old.
2. Husband’s DUI: Happened when he was 22 Years Old, and He isn’t running for office. That was some 25 years ago. Honestly, we’ve all been there in some form or fashion. We all know we just didn’t get caught.
3. Fired Civil Servant: the non-firing happened BEFORE Palin became Governor. The guy was part of those let go from Alaska government with all of those other folks that new leaders get rid of when they take over their office.
While Obama forbade anyone from his campaign from attacking family, the media is carrying his water for him. That is as always.
McCain’s task is to overcome it. Since this is so all-American, since the media is so hated in America, I can only think that this will backfire to Palin’s benefit.
The media ignores Clinton’s lust, Biden’s plagiarism, and Obama’s anarchist friends, but a young girl not running for anything is fair game.
I despise them.
They also ignore Obama’s drug use, which included cocaine. I have never heard anyone from the media even raise the subject with him, let alone get into the details,e.g., when did you stop using drugs?

Well put.

Four issues: In the mid-90s she was convicted of fishing with a gill net using an incorrect licence.
Palingate just gets deeper and deeper.
Few American families have problems similar to the ones the Palins have, whereas almost every American family can see themselves getting accidentily involved with a crooked political operator named "Fat Tony"
Coming tomorrow: “Her Affair That Nearly Ended Her Marraige”
Wish I were joking.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about how she was pregnant herself when she got married (eloped)!
