WTF?

[Meeker]

So much for those conservative values, huh?

I thought you weren't supposed to have a baby until you were married?

In her daughter's defense, what the hell else is there to do in a town of a less than 10,000?

I might note the interesting timing of the release.

That was the first thing I noticed

The story only came out about Bristol yesterday. 

If the Democrats want to attack a 17 year old pregnant girl, be my guests. 

The way things are going only BRTD and Opebo will supporting Obama.

Here is Governor Pain's statement:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This is actually looking like a better and better choice. 

JJ, does anything negative ever happen to John McCain and the Republican Party?

[Meeker]

It makes no sense that Palin would drop out. McCain knew about this before he picked her and was apparently OK with it.

[Meeker]

I still want to know if anyone feels that this ought to be relevant in the campaign.

No.

But whether it ought to be is irrelevant to whether or not it will be.

[Meeker]

I'm curious what the supermarket tabloids are going to do.

I would think this would have been a huge issue had Palin withheld the news from McCain.  It would have reflected badly on her as dishonest and putting her own ambitions ahead of the campaign.

That not being the case, I can't imagine it being an issue unless someone on the other side attempts to make it an issue.  If that happens, it would boomerang badly.

There is potential here for the MSM to bury themselves a little deeper and I'm not sure they can help themselves.

The MSM is not stupid enough to cover this heavily.  Except for Olbermann, probably.

Though they'll all do a round of stories about how this shouldn't be a story.

It makes no sense that Palin would drop out. McCain knew about this before he picked her and was apparently OK with it.

Has this been established? If so, McCain looks even more reckless than I thought.

McCain says he knew in the statement.

[Meeker]

Meeker (I believe) mentioned earlier in this thread that McCain knew about this before the choice.  Does anyone have any confirmation of this?

It's in the original article I posted.
