ST. PAUL -- The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

Right now, all we have to go on is what is being said -
I must, and WILL, accept that McCain knew ...
I’ll admit to you, though, my absolutely second thought (first was Oh,No) was, “I’ll bet mom didn’t know until Saturday”.
BUT, if I trust this as it is being portrayed now, it really raises my opinion of McCain through the roof.
I don’t think she’ll be dragging the whole family around whilst campaigning. She was introducing her family and hiding the daughter would have raised suspicion of some sort and made the daughter feel like a lepper (sp?).
If the daughter gets attacked, it will backfire on those that do it.
Reagan was courageous and pro-life. You're a nervous nelly.
Oh, and you're not much of a Reagan Man today.
As usual, my Friend, you have wise things to say.
I would prefer for Bristol’s sake that the media and Dems leave this alone...but I know they don’t have the class for it. So, I look forward to the rhetorical roundhouse kick Governor Palin will deliver when someone from the Soiled-utility-room-100%-NARAL-rating-don’t-get-punished-with-a-baby ticket says something about this issue.
Bush was easily ahead in the polls till then
Post election analysis said it made a difference
And 250 million aren’t voters

my wife was using birth control and she too got pregnant
this just shows she has the same issues like everyone else and I see she isn’t killing her child like some liberals would want
their man is friends with terrorists, radical black racists and far left loons not to mention shady dealings with a certain man and they do not care.
Their other man has affairs lied, belittled his wife, another hit a policeman, another had over 90,000 hidden in his freezer and another was cheating on his wife while she is dying for cancer
and that to them is nothing but this is something
Have I missed something here
when is the media actually going to look into the Obama racist terrorist radical connection, o they aren’t are they
I take it that you do realize that day 1 wasn’t a very good time.
Today is as good as any. What’s wrong with today?
It has people talking about McCain/Palin instead of only the hurricane.
Accurate post, Guennie... me, too.
let’s put it this way: reagan didn’t exactly have the most perfect family
...”Googling it up looks like 16 is age of consent in Alaska”....
Sure does. So this is pretty much a non-issue.
We’ll have to wait and see what the fallout will be.
I expect many voters will just stay home.
IMHO, this is a huge event and not a positive event either.
If I had a time machine, I'd send you back in time to re-live the 80's all over again.
That way, I wouldn't have to listen to you compare everyone to Ronald Reagan.
Nearly half (45%) of the 6.4 million pregnancies in 2004 occurred among unmarried women, so the typical "unwed mother" is no longer a teen but, in fact, an older woman.

Who in God's name do we think we will ever get to run for public office with this kind of scrutiny......disgusting
Stop the political BS. You know darn well, if Obama or some other leftist running for President or VP had a teenager come up pregnant just before an election, the Republicans would have an field day with it. The hypocrisy is running real deep

Hey, listen jackass. Go search through all my posts since I’ve been a member, and find ONE where I’ve ever said anything bad about Chelsea Clinton, or any of the kids of the Democrats, unless it was comparing how the media attacks us and not them.
So don’t give me your BS!
Thank you for sharing that bit of history.
Who will these mortified voters vote for? They are probably the same ones on 2000 that didn’t vote for Bush because he had a DUI 30 yrs. earlier.
Friday was the 29th...today is the 1st....how much more of "the beginning" would satisfy you?
You probably headn’t heard this yet Pissant, but... :-)
