I think Palin's family values will be under attack too much this week to make her a valid candidate. To know your teenage daughter is pregnant and to run for VP seems to put work before family. How could a mother do that to her daughter, who will be under embarrassing scrutiny? Many mothers will be asking that question, others will be asking what kind of leadership does she have if she can not better guide her own family from this kind of mistake.

how could she allow herself to disengage even more by campaigning? This young woman needs her mother...not to be in the spotlight to be judged like this.
As I said, I want to feel that this is okay. It's life. But, I cannot deny those reservations that I have. People may "say" they understand, but I wonder if deep down they judge....even just a little?

Why should Plain step down? Has her daughter done something illegal? The age of consent in Alaska is 16.

Lust is impatient and selfish.
But I hope my children will choose Love-which is patient.

the Palin family looks an awful lot like the neighbors down the street for a lot of middle and working class families in the US. They can relate to and identify with them.
In fact, if she is [replaced], I can guarantee you that McCain will alienate his base and he will lose this election.

Palins daughter being pregnant will blow the abstinence argument all to shreds. Teaching abstinence doesn't work, Palin is proof.
