My first reaction was shock. Then anger. John McCain chose a running mate simply because she is a woman and one who appealed to the Republican's conservative evangelical base. Now, with news that Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, McCain's pick may not even find support among "family values" voters...This may be a hard one for the Republican conservative family-values crowd to swallow. Of course, this can happen in any family. But it must certainly raise the question among the evangelical base about whether Sarah Palin has been enough of a hands-on mother.

Quinn is a clueless twit. Nothing more needs said.
I think the child may have additional, more serious problems.
Could be.
This is a morality issue of someone not even running. Not a Conservative issue. Ben Franklin fathered his first son out of wedlock. I think history looks pretty kind upon him despite that.
Of course she's going to marry the father! What else is the poor guy going to do?
Somewhere out there is a young man who is going through his own special kind of hell right now. I mean this kid has knocked up the Governor's daughter! Worse, her mom is a life member of the NRA and by all accounts a crack shot. The girl's father is not a small guy either. He owns a salmon boat and would have not difficulty whatsoever disposing of a badly mangled corpse. I suppose the kid could try the old standby of joining the army but the girl's brother is already in the army. Finally, in about five months, shortly after baby is due, the girl's mom may well have access to the resources every intelligence and investigative service of the United States government.
If the kid doesn't want to end up as salmon chum he has about three basic options as near as I can tell.
-- Option one involves finding Osama's cave, which a lot of people have been trying to do for the past seven years without a lot of success - and convincing Osama to take him in as a room mate.
-- Option two involves developing a rudimentary knowledge of French military terms and heading for a town called Aubagne in the south of France.
-- Option three involves a rose garden wedding.
May the loving couple live happily ever after.

Sally needs to get over it.
LMAO!!!
Wow, the scumbags are desperate! I figured they’d be upset at McCain’s choice of Palin, but their heads are bursting. Gotta love it!
Go, Sarah!!
Actually, you made it an issue with your chosen screen name and your willingness to bail on Palin at the first whiff of smoke. I was just trying nicely to point out the irony. So, I will say McCain showed good judgement on this issue and you are mistaken. The sky is NOT falling!!!!
Sally needs to take her little Washington Post and March herself on down the road. The Marines already have the music!
He sure is supportive of the Palins, not that I care that much for him since he pretty much single handedly tanked Fred.
“I was once in a similar position.”, “ Of course it was a disaster. I lasted four months. I wasn’t ready for Network TV. Palin isn’t ready to be leader of the free world.”
Hmmmm....Maybe this is the problem.
Or....the boy loves the girl and they get married and raise a happy and healthy family of beautoful children.. On TV and in the movies I know people are supposed to get out of “trouble”, if you will. But, in real life people can and do fall in love at an early age.
Opinion: Sarah Palin is Truly Pro-Life, Daughter Bristol has Made the Right Choice
The establishment dinasours see the future- and it doesn’t include them.
I hope McCain & Sarah stick it to these bastards who have trashed our country.
Yup. What’s going to hurt, though is abstinence education...
