IT'S BRISTOL'S BABY!!! LOL!
I think some people might be getting a little defensive about this. Bristol is an unmarried pregnant teen. I think it makes the rumor mongers claiming Trig is really Bristol's baby look a bit foolish. It doesn't necessarily hurt Palin, even though the GOP is the family values ticket. I think a lot will depend on who the father is. If the father is a single young man this actually might contribute to the very likable image of the Palin Family as a normal American family. If the father is a married man or a criminal then it will start to take a toll on Palin's popularity.
BTW, for those of you angry at me thinking I am criticizing Palin I am actually just telling you what everyone else following the story knows. For some reason the story has not been posted on FR. I am a big fan of unwed teenage mothers, being one myself many years ago. My oldest son was born while I was living at a home for unwed mothers run by the Salvation Army. My story had a very happy ending.
