Palin´s daugher becoming pregnant has absolutely nothing to do with her policy-making abilities. Even if the daughter made a mistake and got pregnant, that does not mean all people who are taught abstinence are destined to make the same mistake. Besides, she´s keeping the baby and marrying the father, so she is taking responsibility for her actions. This entire issue is a ridiculous personal attack, just like the accusations that Palin didn’t take prenatal care or the false rumors of book-banning.
One of the very few things the Mccain campaign did right was elect Sarah Palin. She was able to endear herself to conservatives and expressed her principals in a dignified and honest fashion. The main reason she takes so much abuse by the media and the left in general is because she does not fit in with the modern liberal ideal; she is a successful woman who chooses to behave conservatively. Sarah Palin has a place in the future of conservatism; I hesitate to say the same thing about John McCain.
