It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it's really nobody's business beyond that.
I happen to agree.

The daughter's pregnancy was known in that locale of Alaska. It was no secret. That she and her family affirmed the life says a huge amount about how Gov. Palin and her family hold life sacred.
This has direct applications to how Gov. Palin would act and serve to defend every man, woman and child in America from those who want to slay us, as was wantonly done on 9/11.
Should any Obama adherents wish to hypocritically criticize Gov. Palin on her family on this, they might want to remember that Sen. Obama’s mother was not married to his father until at least three months AFTER Barak’s conception.
And that apparently in a justice-of-the peace setting on Maui instead in a church (re: Corsi’s The Obama Nation, pg. 44) Barak’s father was a Muslim.
John Edwards released a press statement stating that he is not the father of Gov. Palin’s grandchild/sarc
Yes, I am sure. I found his sister’s myspace and she has a photo of her holding Trig as a newborn and one with Sarah Palin in the picture as well and she calls him “Her little bro” (Trig I mean) and also calls Sarah “Mommyinlaw” and then a picture of her a nice looking boy with “My big brother” and the comments say stuff like “Levi looks evil in this pic haha”.
I was discussing with my wife about how our 16 year old daughter made the front page of the Anchorage Daily News Feb 1 1998 and that its something that is a bit of a problem here in Alaska of teenage pregnancies, now that beautiful little girl, my granddaughter is sitting right next to me right now.

Her boyfriend had split. Her mom was hurt and disappointed. The woman she considered her best friend had lost custody of several of her own children to the state. So last spring, when Mindi Phillips was 16 and pregnant, she had little doubt that she could use some help. Phillips was more excited than scared about the baby, but she had worries. Little worries, like whether she was too messy and disorganized. Big worries, like whether the state would try to take her baby away. And then the [Read article (fee)]
No, there is no way this fresh faced boy is 29. And his little sister is 17, and from what I can gather, most of her friends know him well from school.
I think they found a different Levi. I found a Levi in his mid-20s, but that’s not him. I think the real Levi is about 19.
It's just curiosity and trying to solve a mystery for me. Again, I won't post the picture here.
Oh. How rash of me. My apologies to John Edwards. /fingers-crossed
Same here.
I mean same here, now it is private. We must have the same url.
I did capture the pics too, but I won’t post them either.
Well, I now have found more pictures of Levi (his first name is public knowledge) and I also know his last name.
Wonderful post, wonderful American hometown. God Bless the children.
Amen.
Dark curly hair?
We don’t really need to go there.
However, I came across this interview today on Air Amerika that shows where the left is going with this and with Sarah’s own pregnancy.
First, she apparently has ticked off the libs in Alaska because she didn’t enough (in their eyes) for children’s care and this will give ammo.
Second, they question her judgment in traveling while in labor (was in Dallas when she started going into labor and flew for 11 hours back to Alaska). Supposedly there is a flight attendant who says she did not look pregnant or in distress. Her official story is more distressing (to them) than the Daily Kos story.
Third (moonbat theory): The RNC canceled today’s program because the party didn’t want this in the headlines and they are aware now that it has an “Eagleton problem.” (Mcgovern’s VP pick), and she will be off the ticket.
Two more whacks: She’s hired a lawyer to defend her in Troopergate and hubby had a DUI (though 20 years ago). But the big door this opens up is the issue of health care for young mothers and how she didn’t support it.
Okay, I found the last name, too. Apparently he’s the same age as Bristol.
Dumb kids! But hopefully they’ll learn and grow from this incident. All eyes will be on Sarah, for sure, to see how she handles this. She needs to bat it out of the park when she gives her speech on Wednesday.
I was just watching the panel on Brit Hume’s Special Report. Mort Kondracke was making a big deal about Sarah Palin advocating abstinence only, and that Alaska was getting money for abstinence programs, and that obviously, her own child didn’t adhere to abstinence only.
Well, la-di-dah.
Frankly, if Sarah Palin wanted, she could have covered this up by forcing her daughter through an abortion (assuming that the father and no one else in Wasilla knew). Simple: just take the daughter “shopping” for a day and find a sympathetic doctor who would do the deed, and maybe take some extra money to keep his mouth shut. But Sarah Palin was not going to be a hypocrite. Maybe in Alaska, this news isn’t so embarrassing as it might be here, but in either case, she stood by her pro-life stance...AGAIN! And she did it with love and with class, and didn’t try to hide it.
To me, this is very instructive. It gives me insight into how she faces problems, and I like what I see.
HEY! Maybe Bristol will deliver two days before the election! Wouldn’t that bring in the votes. Teen pregnancies are only a problem until the baby pops out and then everyone is tickled pink......I think she could personally reel in a few million votes!
this is not a crime, happens to all families and why make a big deal of a family situation, that they seems to have been able to accept and deal with..
Sarah Palin is still a class act and she is a great addition to the McCain team..
by the way did everyone she how gorgeous Cindy McCain and First Lady Laura Bush looked at the RNC??? two beautiful older women...go McCain
