I will say however that I take issue with conservatives being so high and mighty on these issues, both in general and in this campaign. I don't know how many times we need to see members of the Republican party make mistakes before they start to understand that they're human beings too. Unfortunately they don't seem to get it; examples: when the Republican Congressmen from Florida got caught hitting on pages in the capital, instead of acknowledging this problem Denny Hastert and the Republicans said he had a drinking problem and whisked him off to rehab. When Larry Craig was caught toe-tapping in men's room, they tried to retire him. This type of behavior is hypocritical and that's my problem with it.

This is private issue and has no business in the news. The news media is just throwing dirt. Once again, watch the SNL skit and learn from it. YOU ARE NOT THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE WHEN YOU TRY TO CREATE THE NEWS INSTEAD OF REPORTING THE NEWS. STAY OUT OF PRIVATE ISSUES!!!! As a grandmother, mother, and wife, I find your coverage of this issue crossing the line and this shows YELLOW journalism is alive and well.

We should stick to the real issues between the parties. I must admit, I am a bit worried though about the "experience" factor. Both Obama and Palin are lacking in real world experience and either will have to learn on the job. The question could become: Does America want it to be the Pres or VP ?

YIKES – that's a tough one to field......

This has nothing to do with Obama, his campaign has nothing to do with it.... just like Rev. Wright's summons the media went looking into her background and then discouvered what is there.... don't blame the Obama campaign for this.... John Mcain did not do his job it was his responsibility to select her and should have done the work before selecting her. This is the judgement that the american people are selecting.... IRAN is going to be another Iraq if jOHN MCAIN GETS INTO THIS OFFICE.... good luck all the american people need is the rest of the globe hating you

For years social conservatives have been blaming the decline of the family unit on working moms, but now they are falling all over themselves to embrace this "soccer mom" as if she was the second coming. Talk about hypocritical!

I will never understand a parent who puts their ambitions before the well being of their child.

But then the haters working for Obama got involved with their petty insults and derision and mocking and demeaning scorn.

Now that the attacks on her are on, i am finding myself liking HER and disliking her democratic detractors.

She stands for what she believes. Who cares what Her husband did in his twenties? Or that her daughter made a mistake despite her Mother's best efforts at proper education and values?

At least Palin set the good example- better than if she aborted a child whenever it was inconvenient to her plans for herself.

You NEW democrats have things all twisted up in an irrational knot. This makes Palin MORE desirable- not less. She is not hiding her human frailties.

McCain HAS now become the man of change. Obama- and his supporters are about OLD hatreds, divisions, partisan antipathy, sexist insults, name-calling derision.

McCain is the bigger man.

I ask this in defense of her children who need their Mom around.

There is no telling how much more things that we don't know about Palin that are bound to come out. Like the fact that she originally was for the bridge going to nowhere, she or her husband may have made a call to have her sisters husband fired, she was over the the 527 for Stevens and who knows what else.

Obviously they blew the vetting process totally. Palin should just bow out now and let McCain pick a new running mate. She is going to continue to be a huge liability to him as long as she's on the ticket.

And let's be honest, a mother of a 4-5 month old Downs syndrome baby needs to be with her baby- not out running around 24/7 on the campaign trail. I'm as big a women's libber as there could ever be, but this woman needs to take care of her personal responsibilities first & foremost.

Even CNN is also involved, Why can't I get a live stream of the RNC?
Why is your news so biased? Why is Glen Beck such a hypocrite and a liar?

Obama/Biden 08

Let me see all of those Republicans especial on the other network try to spin this one.

Obama/Biden '08

What it shows is how incorrect these Leninists are with regard to facts. If they are so incorrect about something like this, then the question begs, "How much are they incorrect about everything else?" Take you pick; the Iraq War and its genesis; the so-called scandals of the Bush Adminstration that never emerged; Valerie Plame, and the list goes on and on.

I see Obama has said that Palin's family is off-limits. On its face, it appears an admirable gesture. But as Mr. Fowler has already shown the American people, a Democrat's feeling only lasts as long as the election cycle.

Mr. Obama, as you well know, you couldn't control your own convention. What makes you think you can control the rabid, Leninist media that pumps out their garbage to the useful idiots who think you are so pretty?

You are out of your league, sir. Totally.

* * * * Excuse me, but Sarah brought this matter on herself and her daughter when she knowingly accepted McCain's VP offer!! 17-year Bristol did not know her mother would put her pregnancy across the world stage!!

this is more of a typical american family than any other... nothing wrong with this... anyone bashing this has no soul...

I keep reading form right wingers how this is great that shes showing support and how this is something the average family goes through ect ect.

Last I checked a 17 year old getting pregnant is not great and if she didn't support her daughter what would it have said about what kind of mother she was?

All this does is exploit this pick for being what it was a political ploy for the sake of being a political ploy.

Its not Sara Palin's fault its McCain for saying we'll fall in love once we hear her story well I hope it gets better because right now its reading more like a tragedy.

What IS relevant is the rolling list of revelations of Palin's abuse of the office – both as mayor and governor. It points to a pattern of opportunism, vindictiveness, small-world politics.

BUT I do think Palin is getting ready to pull out of the VP spot!

OBAMA=SOCIALISM
