HOW THE PALIN PICK TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN
It will fizzle out in 48 to 72 hrs.
The Dem's are digging a serious hole if they try to make anything of it. Just my opinion, but I think it makes the Palin's an even EASIER couple to relate to.
How will it play?
Not nearly as the SF Chronicle would like.
No cover-up, no problem.
I still don’t see what a 17 year old pregnant girl has to do with electing the President of the United States but I don’t do “recreational drugs” while standing around “hoping” for my ship to come in either.
I’m asking whether I would intentionally put my daughter through this sort of national attention by agreeing to run for VP. I hope I wouldn’t, but I’m obviously not as driven as Palin.
This also tells us that if the daughter of a social conservative can come out as being pregnant before marriage, even if she is getting married, there’s no longer any shame whatsoever to this. It tells me a lot more than if this had been the daughter of a liberal.
Nonetheless, I wish nothing than the absolute best to Bristol and her future family.
It might even win over some Democrats, and as long as the kid gets married and has the baby, the values vote will stay with her.
I guess it’ll play out with Dems attacking a teenage girl?
That’s pretty much their bread and butter nowadays.
Palin should drop out. It’s too much of a tabloid distraction, and the next round of attacks will be about her being a bad mother, putting her career ahead of her children’s well-being. This is only going to get worse for the GOP ticket.
God GOD, why didn’t McCain choose Romney?!?
They made a bad move here, and Obama's statement today shows he knows it and is scared of the repercussions. It's going to benefit Palin and the Republicans immensely, especially after her speech on Wednesday.
wooftee would they ever love to have a cover up and abortion to share with the world.
Dear KOS:
******* I am Voting McCain PALIN *********
Shocker? Hardly.
Wanna know what’s shocking? For starters, there’s the American president who molested a young intern and suborned perjury in the matter. And let’s not forget the United States senator who left a young woman to drown after he ran his car into the water.
Feel free to add to “Shocker” list...
The event of this election cycle can not just be a coincidence.
We in America are being given such an open and shut case of choosing a culture of life over a culture of death.
The candidate for the presidency from the Dem’s has an even more pro abortion rating that NARAL to the point of supporting infanticide and view unintended pregnancies as a punishment.
His VP pick although claiming to be Catholic has supported all abortion bills presented before him
On the other hand, we have a Presidential candidate, who literally was handed his adopted daughter by Mother Teresa (soon to be saint)
Our VP candidate refuses to abort her son when told that he will have Down’s Syndrome and who has encourage her daughter to give birth to child.
It can not be a coincidence.
This young woman’s pregnancy and descision to marry soon is driving the Liberals nuts!
What one ultimately decides to do in instances like this varies widely from family to family, person to person. There is no single choice accepted by everyone. Abortion should absolutely be the last resort, and only to save a woman’s life.
My poor sister had four tubal pregnancies in a row, one after the other. All of us thought, including her doctor, that she would never carry a baby full term. But eventually she did, and we call him the miracle baby (now 16-years old).
Bill Kristol just ripped off Mort Kondracke’s head over this. Go Bill!
What shocker?
Heck yeah, we’re glad the daughter is going to marry the boyfriend and keep the baby! Lots of fine people were conceived out of wedlock. Who knows, the baby might grow up to attain great fame, just like Baraq Hussein Obama.
I know that a liberal in the same situation probably would have had the baby aborted. Not good.
What a ridiculous non-issue this is.
