Sarah Palin's daughter

is five months or so pregnant. Apparently McCain knew about this before he finally picked her. Now I feel personally sorry for govt. Palin to be subjected to such ridiculous speculation that her downsyndrome baby earlier this year was supposedly faked and actually her daughter's. She has reacted to these false rumors, but also acknowledged that her 17 year old daughter is in fact pregnant and that she will marry the biological father. With her work as governor she must be very busy and cannot attend so much time to her daughter... This is a personal family matter, but unfortunately in
the context of presidential politics everything is under scrutiny, also your personal life and those of your family. One has to see after the initial outburst of support, whether this will not hurt the McCain-Palin campaign again. Could well be an issue during the RNC.

Personally I think it is better Sarah is governor of AK than VP. McCain will probably never consider Ron Paul as VP, and Paul would be restricted as VP in what he can do. Paul will be much more influential as house leader, which is actually more important than VP and which he can attain in 2010, regardless who wins in 2008.

amazing to me we are

amazing to me we are concerned about her baby and her daughter's baby, but have not seen much mention of what she said about IRAN, obviously supporting mcCain's statement about bombing Iran.

thats what is so strange...

really..it is so insane

I can has Prezidense Obamama?

Behold I send you out as sheep among the wolves. Well, sort of. The GOP leadership, who like to eat their young, know McInsane is going to go down in flames in November. They looked around and thought who can we sacrifice as VP with this ridiculously pathetic nominee? Well there a Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, and sort-of-Small-Government chick governor in Alaska who is probably stupid and vain enough to accept the VP role. But wait, her unmarried, teenage daughter is totally preggers. How will that play with the family values crowd? Who cares? By picking Palin right now, we can kill two birds with one stone: make the GOP look progressive by nominating a woman with a soon-to-be-born illegitimate grand-baby, while we ruin the political career of an up-and-coming conservative. Brilliant!

GOP has given up in 2008. If they still thought they had a chance, no way Palin, with the lack of experience and the family-drama baggage, would be chosen as VP. All the other candidates from the primaries: Romney, Huckaboo, Phoning-it-in-Phred Thompson, Hunter, Ghouliani (except for Paul, who surely wasn't asked) know it's over and probably told the leadership they wanted to "spend more time with their families" when the idea of VP was presented to them. Duh.

I'm glad the Palin daughter is bringing the baby to term, rather than aborting it. But from a purely political point of view, in a real election, that kind of situation would be studiously avoided by a presidential candidate.

Perhaps the headline should be: I can has fake demokrasies?

Personally

I could not care less about Sara Palin's daughter's sex life. But it is hilarious how they OBVIOUSLY want McCain to lose this election. If they showed the real issues that make McCain horrible, it may discredit a lot of people and raise serious questions.
All I have to say is somebody lost a bet at the Bohemian Grove this year.

US politics

is like a soap opera. They (also dailykos etc.) will discuss these issues, but never focus on the real issues.

Also McCain's visit to LA is such a stooge. He can make a statement, but not make it a campaign issue.
The media should rather expose Randy Scheunemann and all his connections etc.

we ALL have 'personal' lives

She has proven that she can handle being Mayor and Governor. I think this will die down quickly and not be an issue at all.

well, at least she's keeping

well, at least she's keeping the baby... if it were Obama's daughter (assuming she was older), he'd probably perform the abortion himself.

he prefers

partial births

oh, so he's like make her

oh, so he'd make her have the baby to endure the physical pain, and then finish it off? haha...

completely accurate

except it's more of a mwwahahaha

People need to study "recent" history.

Less than a hundred years ago and people would be wondering why this is only her first child.

Seems this is a family

Seems this is a family thing. Her niece did the same thing 4 yrs ago at 17 yrs. but didn't marry the biological father.

so typically american to even care about

who and if palins daughter had sex.....

focus on something more important...

AMEN

It has no bearing on reality

If the news was anywhere close to what matters they'd focus on www.vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com

But they don't and just use meaningless tabloid news to distract us from the real problems.

US news is cartoon news. I can't wait till they get in computer generated hosts and people will still say it's "real" news.

typically American ? Published in the London Telegraph ?

Whatever.

I guess there's not much to do in Alaska on those long nights.

who sane person cares about who she has sex with

London is crap to...the media anyway..

let her have as much sex she wants with whoever.. it has no impact on the important things..

like foreign policy, war , peace, economy...

if she use public funds to pay for sex it is another things...

really who cares... come on..

there are many

who care that whoever she did wasn't called "husband". morals and stuff, you know.

morals and stuff

Okay, this is one of my current hot buttons. We need to be clear as to what "marriage" is. Marriage is a covenant between persons, or between persons and their god. When morality is licensed by the state, the state becomes like a god. Getting a state marriage license, putting your covenant under the godship of the state is at least creepy, and possibly disgusting and immoral. My husband and I did not understand this when we were married, all those years ago, but we will discourage our children from marrying the govt. We need to withdraw our consent to be governed in this area of our private lives.

I understand but in my opiniom it is totally irrelevant

and totally uninteresting...

I hope she has all the sex she wants, it is not my business...

that is my opinion.

what I think is important in a leader is the policies they intend to promote , not their personal hobbies..

2 things

1--No one is voting for the daughter
2--No one in their right mind is voting for the mom

moot point, eh?

I hope

no one votes for the daughter or the husband...

but American politics seem very focused on these people...

I hope it changes..

vote on policies plzz crap the media character assassinations...

like when they attacked Romney for being a Mormon...

shameful... as much as I dislike him--value ppl on subjects not their personal stuff...I´m nauseas

You're so right,what I just

You're so right,what I just posted above while true is irrelevant. I was just being a brat! :)
