Sarah Palin's daughter should give birth in about four months. She's the seventeen-year-old daughter of the Republican candidate for vice president. People will make a big deal out of this, but they shouldn't. Sure, I disagree with Palin on several issues, and she might not be qualified for the job, but we should not let this hurt her campaign. The only thing I think this has any impact on is her advocacy of abstinence-only sex education. Does not work. But the fact that her daughter is pregnant does not reflect on the character of Sarah Palin or her ability to be governor or vice president. The best parents with the best values can have sons or daughters in this situation. McCain might agree, as he knew about the pregnancy before selecting Palin:

Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.

If that's even true. Whatever the case, I pity the girl because of the white-hot spotlight that is about to blind her.

I'm tired of people focusing on the wrong things. A great president was nearly kicked out of office for getting some blow jobs and lying about it. Good Lord.
