Palin's Daughter

Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska- many of you may know her as McCain's running mate.

So it's just about 6:30 Monday evening, and I'm sitting in my Grandmother's living room, watching CNN. I was mainly hoping to see information about Hurricane Gustav. However, it was flipping back and forth between the Republican National Convention and coverage concerning the hurricane.

Joy. But ahh, whatever. I'm not going into my personal views now.

However, one of the reporters came on, and told the audience how Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter was *gasp* five months pregnant... and *double gasp* she's keeping the baby! The daughter- who's name I beleive is Crystal- plans on marrying her baby's Daddy. And, the fact that she's keeping the baby shows of her character or something.

But, I couldn't help but wonder:

What the HELL does a seventeen year old pregnant girl have to do with the presidential election? So her mother is a candidate for vice-president. I'm sure that there are thousands of 17-year-old girls out there who are pregnant, and none of their stories are being broadcasted across CNN.

What does her daughter being pregnant have to do with her ability to be vice president?

Ja ne~
