If yes, then she’s from an alien civilisation and I can’t support her for President; if no, then we are interested in her decisions in this process—if she wants to continue to put herself forward as a public figure.

She only loses under lemma b if she was negligent in her daughter’s upbringing—I don’t know that to be the case (but I sense that a lot of her defenders fear that that might indeed be the case).

Do you, for instance, seriously believe that Palin can any longer stand as a credible advocate for abstinence-based sex education—never mind abstinence-only?

It was probably mostly her child’s juvenile irresponsibility that created the situation, but we do circle back around to questions about thing like that.
