John McCain warmly greets Bristol Palin's husband-to-be, Levi
Johnston, whose high school romance with Bristol proved
a major distraction to the McCain campaign when word
leaked that the young woman was pregnant.

.


But McCain embraced young Bristol mere moments after meeting her on the tarmac

.


McCain also took the time to greet the newest addition to the Palin family, little baby Trig.

.


After the meet & greet, the two families boarded a campaign bus to head into town as one happy political family.

The McCain campaign was fully aware of the pregnancy before they invited Governor Palin on board.

The entire town of Wasilla was apparently aware of it as well.

It was only acknowledged in the media to counter the vicious and breathtakingly low-class rumors being circulated by the Left.

A 'major distraction'?  The Left certainly wishes that it had been, but I don't see it causing any actual 'distractions' for McCain.

Great pictures thanks for posting.

Could add a video.....

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzmly28Bmg

Obama: “If they [his own daughters] make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Obama is evil—he will murder his own blood and flesh because babies ‘are a punishment’ —this stands in total contrast to Levi and Bristol and the unconditional love and support from their families.

I think it is just the perspective and the way Willow is holding Trig. In this photo you can see that the white is Trig's socks.

Any one else notice there is an engagement band around Bristol’s finger.

Nice to see.

As I said on another thread, Mac doesn’t look like he’s about to throw the Palin family under the bus.

Whoever wrote the caption for the beautiful family photo must have gotten verklempt by the last name, and wasn’t up to the task of naming each person correctly.

Heads are exploding in newsrooms all over the country at the photogeneity of this combined family.

No, it’s just something I put together. But I think it would be an effective way for her to take the media’s negative reports and turn them into a massive positive.

They’ve been engaged since January, I do believe.

Very simple...CLASS SHOWS.

As does the lack thereof from the Democrats. Well, what did anyone expect from a Chicago currupt political machine hack politician? Class? HA.

I am reading the biography, Faith of My Fathers, that was written by/for McCain in 1999, which explains a whole lot about his personality and character.

This media onslaught against his running-mate choice will just make him a stronger competitor between now and November.

“What are they doing to the back of Levi’s shirt?”

One of the daughters (standing behind Levi) is holding the baby. They are the baby’s feet (white socks), and she is holding a blue pacifier in her hand.

Looks like that to me after studying the other photos.

Just look at the brilliant smile on Bristol’s face, and the look of love in her father’s expression.
