News broke today that the daughter of presumptive VP nominee Sarah Palin is pregnant and planning to marry her 17-year-old boyfriend. She's apparently five months along, and we assume that her parents knew about this prior to accepting the appointment as Grandpa McCain's running mate.
If this is indeed the case, and knowing that the national media was going to focus on your daughter's personal life intensely as part of the campaign, why would you put her through this? It stumps me.
The only thing I can think is that Governor Palin cares more about her career than her family. Family values? Hmmmmmmmm?
And, by the way, imagine if Joe Biden's teenaged unmarried daughter was preggers? He'd be crucified.

I also find it ironic that the Palins are congratulating their daughter on her "decision" to have the baby. Ironic in that, if they had their way, Republicans would not allow any woman a choice
Agree, agree, agree. I can't get over all these developments. I just can't.
Not to mention Bristol is "planning on marrying" the father. At 17. How much of that was her "choice" versus what would be demanded by the Evangelical Right?
Way to give your kid a head-start in life, Palin.
