Recent news is reporting the discovery of Republican Vice President hopeful Sarah Palin's daughter and her pregnancy out of wed-lock. The article found in PRWeek states that the news of Palin's daughter's pregnancy shows that the McCain camp did not completely review his running-mate. Reports say that after hearing the news, McCain's team rushed to Alaska to investigate the situation. Since then McCain's team has denied the trip to Alaska being in reference to this new information.
I personally do not think that anything having to do with Palin's daughter's extra-curricular activities and her becoming pregnant at 17-years-old is relevant to the campaign. Nor does the discovery of this pregnancy in no way show that the McCain camp has been inadequate in the reviewing of Palin. I think adviser Steve Schmidt puts it best when unpredicted things happen in life as he tells the Huffington Post, "Life happens."

I bet PRWeek is right but I remember reading another article saying that McCain knew of Palin's daughter being pregnant before he asked her to be his running mate?? I do not know but I do not think it should matter.
Ya know, it happened to Jamie Lynn Spears...and she comes from such a sophisticated and bright family. But really, I feel like people are trying to hate on Palin for this and honestly, who cares? So her daughter got knocked up by some guy who her mom prob goes killing moose with, but who cares.
I also read another article confirming McCain knew of Palin's daughter being pregnant. Both candidates (Obama and McCain) said family was off limits. I don't think this news should be an issue.
I think family issues should be off limits to a certain degree, and in this situation I think it is irrelevant. We should be talking about what political issues and views Palin has, not what her daughter is doing behind closed doors. I think it's sad that all this media coverage is going to her pregnant daughter when it should be educating the uneducated about where she stands in her views.
