The VP is just as important as the President - they are joined at the hip.

Cheney is a deadweight but Bush chose him - and you elected both of them in.

Here in the US, it's the presidential election and the electoral college elects the president, not the VP.

i dont think it should matter about her daughter being pregnant just like it shouldnt have mattered that "Bill" was sleeping around or that other man was sleepin with a hooker what should matter is what they are capable of doing for the people what should only matter is how well they do there job!!!!!!!!!!

Palin is pro-life so everyone is having a field day with her daughter being so young and knocked up.

So now its reported today that they've let the cat out of the bag with regard to the BF's name. I can only imagine with it being as difficult as it is with two teenage parents starting out that now the press will hound them. that part is a little sad.

My wife mentioned something that was a little interesting. This is being reported by the press right now like it was an accident or something. Maybe there is a chance that she really wanted to get pregnant for whatever reason, she wanted to get out of the house or she wanted to be with this guy that maybe her parents didn't want her to be with. Just wondering....

To be honest i don't think there's much of anything wrong going on with her daughter. What a child does is not always the reflection of the parents. Surely she has a mind of her own and thoughts/ideas as well?

In a funny way, when you think about it, won't it actually help Sarah a little in a twisted way? I mean, she has a 17 year old pregnant daughter and we all know that pregnancy is on the rise. Surely this will grab the attention of unwed, pregnant teens everywhere depending on how the family continues to handle the situation. Sorry, im just thinking out as i type this

i basically agree with you Adrienne. i think everyone is taken back because it is a Republican candidate that advocated abstinence and pulling back funds from teaching sex education. There is nothing terrible about her daughter or her. But you're right teen pregnancy is on the rise and it will be interesting to see what happens (but hopefully out of the glare of the press'es flashbulbs)

Well I guess even Sarah Palin's family is susceptible to our present day acceptance of promiscuity... Because she's running for President (cuz Mc Cain is as old as time and doesn't have much left) doesn't mean that the media isn't present in her household and her daughter immune its seduction. Parents' views count for hardly anything, when what they say has become taboo...

So I can't attack Palin for that fact.

You have to admit that only teaching abstinence leads to more teen pregnancy. There was this story about how FL high schoolers thought that drinking bleach or soda (Mt. Dew, I think) was going to prevent pregnancy. I think that teen pregnancy is a becoming a bigger problem as the media glamourizes having a baby as a fashion accessory.

I couldn't agree more with you. It reminds me of the group of teen girls that all got pregnant on a pact. I had my son at 17 (i had moved out by 16 which is why i feel one can't judge Palin for her daughter) and when i catch up with friends, everyone has at least one child!! and we're all under 21.

He's at the Republican National Convention too. They had him on tv waiting for McCain with the Palin's. I have seen his picture like a million times, I dont know why the news thinks I need to know so much about this.

Totally. Especially with that Jamie Lynn Spears thing. I thought it was so lame people glamorizing it all and making it seem easy. Nothing is easy about raising a child and her and Sarah Palin's daughter have something which a lot of pregnant teen mom's don't = $$ and lots of it.

I hope she doesn't use her daughter to gain points or whatever. Even if it was for prevention - I wouldn't like that image, I still think it's sad... teenagers getting pregnant these days.
