Weird.

Just weird that you would disclose that.

But now... feel free to run for office.

Back to the point. PALIN (AND MCCAIN) HID THE FACT THAT THE KID WAS PREGNANT.

They figured it was better to disclose that after the fact. And that my friend is a low-class political move on the part of McCain/Palin.

Whose side are you on? Post 67 sounds like sour grapes from the opposition.

After WHAT fact? I ask again, when is the right time to announce to the world that your daughter is pregnant?

BTW, pregnancy is a medical condition. It's really the mother's perogative what to disclose about her medical condition, NOT her mother's.

The only reason they felt they had to disclose this was that the mainstream media was actually researching a false and ludicrous "story" written by a BLOGGER using a 2-year-old PICTURE to claim that Palin was LYING about a pregnancy and birth.

But because they were poking around her child's life, they felt it was better to announce on THEIR terms.

All the stories indicate that the people of their home town knew about this. It isn't ANYTHING to do with Palin, so there's no reason to disclose it.

All my other examples were to prod you to understand the truth -- it is none of YOUR business what's up with the daughter or son of a candidate -- you have no right to know about the girl's private life, or her medical condition, because she's not running for office and has nothing to do with the office.

The only exception should be if something in the child's life would preclude her mother or father from serving.

BTW, can you imagine CNN investigating whether a MALE candidate's child was actually his daughter's child? I can't -- this is a sexist attack, and a bizarrely stupid one as well.

I see, McCain should have had a press conference and told everyone “I have decided on a running mate, but uh.......she has a pregnant teen daughter. Is that ok with you all??”

Come on, he knew about it, so they knew it would come out, and were probably quite prepared for it. I for one, do not allow the media to dictate to me what I should or should not be upset about. I have a mind of my own, and it tells me Palin was a great choice.

Maybe McCain should’ve announced it when he was intorducing her for the first time in Ohio. /SARCASM
