Why does CNN even give creadance to what this young man says? He is too immature and bitter to offer anything of value.

Does anyone really care what this loser thinks. When he pays his child support for 18 years and spends time with his kid - then talk to me. As for Sarah, I wish her well. Just let her get on with her life.

These people need to go hunting for a polar bear with a slingshot, and be done with their fifteen minutes of fame.

She realized that being governor of Alaska is slowing her down from going to all these Republican events where she can show her face; press the flesh as it were. If she really wants to move on to higher office, this quiting as governor will be a big reason that she won't get it. The other reasons are that she doesn't really know what she is doing.

Levi doesn't have a clue what is going on.

His talking to the media shows his interest in getting "his 15 minutes of fame" and trying to capitalize on it. Shameful.

Levi, quit talking to the media. Your priority should getting a good education so you can provide for your son. Anything else is a distraction and will get you no where.

Is this the same punk that got a girl pregnant out of wedlock? Like someone would listen to a 19 year old. Go back and live with your parents.

I love how CNN thinks it is news that an estranged person to the Palin Family who may have negative feelings towards the family would want to smear her name...saying she left because she was stressed (couldn't handle the job) and for money (she is greedy). CNN you are a joke and are about ot be a product of the paradigm shift. You will be destroyed for your lack of journalism, fair stories and accurate facts. You will be destoryed for we are coming for you.

Once again the media shows it's bias by giving air time and attention to a 19 year old dimwit with an axe to grind. He is simply trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame and capitalize from his association with the Governer and her family. He said "fame got to her head" ,PLEASE! He is an example of the worst kind of opportunist.

Who cares what this person thinks? His sole claim to fame is being stupid enough to make a baby out of wedlock using unsafe sexual practices. He is obviously not very smart, having put his life at risk just so that he can have a few moments of pleasure. This does not qualify him as an expert on anything but immorality and stupidity. Why does CNN continue to glorify this type of behavior by repeating his pathetic attempts at revenge. He is not hurting Sarah Palin, he is helping her by keeping her in the news and making her daughter seem intelligent for dumping him. Fortunately the Palins have money or we would be paying for his baby in addition to listening to his rants – oh wait, that's why CNN values his comments so! Why don't you go around and print the opinions of every father of an illegitimate child that is probably not supporting their offspring.

OK...THIS Levi story is completely unworthy of CNN, let alone being listed on the front page.

This kid needs to get a job

Congrats Levi, it looks more like you are the one that wants all the fame. Her decision is her decision and to slam her for it is just unfair. You should be worrying about your grandson and not always being the first to jump into the limelight.

I don't even like Palin, but yet this kid gets on my nerves.

Why is anything this young man is saying "newsworthy?" While he may have had some insider's insights the past, he is certainly not privvy any longer to what's going on in the Palin household. Can't we just ignore this kid and let him fade back into the woods?

Perhaps Palin stepped down to help her husband 'do what's best for Alaska' - and that is to try and break away from the United States of America and become an independent country. You see, how could she be President or Prime Minister of a new country if she was sworn in to uphold duties under the United States of America as Governor of Alaska?

It could be - her husband had his hand in trying to break off Alaska. I wonder if then she would need her jet back? You know of course she went to the middle east to 'check on her troops' just prior to her decision to step down.

Oil rich Alaska could become another IRAN or IRAQ.....

He's a punk acting like a child. He's not a man and will never be respected. He's blabbering, for money, about family conversations. What a low life scum. And so is the media or anyone who listens and believes this idiot. He may make a little cash but can he look at himself in the mirror. See ya.

Ugh, who cares what this kid has to say. He's a bitter, immature jerk, in my opinion. The media should just leave it all alone...Palin is a private citizen now.

Why would anyone care about this kid's opinion? His name to fame is knocking up a vice presidential nominee.

Is this the only dirt they could stir up about Palin? A 19 yr old jilted ex boyfriend? Give me a break!

It is obvious that 'Country First' means 'ME' first to Palin. You would thing she would realize the stress and visibility that comes with a political job, and for ALL political people, not just her.

Also, it is interesting (just like Bush!) that NO ONE can ever get a straight answer from the Palin Camp. All we get is conspiracy theories and denigration of anyone who dares to criticize the Ice Queen. Obviously Palin's spokeswoman Meg Stapleton has been given the green light to defame anyone daring to oppose Palin...even the father of her grandson.

I am terrified of what Palin calls 'The Right Things'....as she has no concept of critical thought and reasoning.

Hmmm....I bet Palin greatly regrets pushing Levi into the limelight. There's nothing worse than the "inner circle" turning on you....

"I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation," she said.

She still thinks she speaks for the majority by spreading her hate. She has shown she is not a pitbull but a small puppy. She can dish it out and not take it. By leaving her job as Alaskas governor she has proven what most of the country knew all along, she is terribly underqualified to run anything. You don't have to be a lameduck with 18 months to go. Some feel so bad for her because of all the attacks. She has brought these on herself by attacking and by claiming to be a moral superior. McCann gave her the vehicle to remain a diva in the spotlight. She will draw large hate filled crowds, make money and feel adored. That is all she ever really wanted.

Why is this losers opinion newsworthy?

How is it that this 19 year old celebrity-wanna-be is getting ANY time in front of ANY microphone, let alone national exposure? There was a time when news had a relevance to it ... not today apparently.

gotta love CNN and those who support it; please tell me why the speculations of this teenager who cannot even master birth control should be news worthy? How about the 30+ czars implemented by barack as a story. It could detail how no other president has had near so many czars, the expense to taxpayers this made up role costs and how it trumps constitutionally elected or appointed individuals. How about getting that birth certificate of barack's made public, or the lack of efforts in getting America off foreign oil. I guess campaign promises are not important to CNN.

Palin was a female celebrity picked to combat the minority and female celebrity team the dem's put together. I just hope the two parties will provide qualified candidates next time and not little experience celebrities like Obama and Palin to take part in running our country. I don’t think the rep's would have won the election with someone else, but I'm sure McCain lost a lot of votes because the rep voters did not want a twit running the country if something happened to McCain.

who cares?

I don't uderstand why the national media is paying attention to this kid who does not have any political experience at all and only is looking to seek fame by speaking bad of Sarah Palin. I understand that all the media is biased in order to destroy Palin because she could be a danger to Obama and the Democrats for future runs but for gods sake interview someone with political knoledge and with brains.
Not a fame seeker.

blah blah blah, must we continue to give this woman more press

Who CARES what he has to say? And why do so called reputable news sources report on this? He does not matter!!!

Sarah Palin: Foot note of the U.S.A. 2008 Presidential Election

I don't think Palin is going to be losing any sleep over this.

Wonder if this guy is even registered to vote...he's full of sour grapes...why doesn't he focus on being a good father.

Palin would be a scary mother-in-law!!!

I never really want to hear about Sarah Palin again. I wasn't even sure her daughter's baby daddy could read much less vote.

I'm a liberal Democrat and certainly no fan of Sarah Palin but when is this guy's 15 minutes of fame going to be up? How is his opinion newsworthy? You are better than this CNN. Stop giving this guy the public attention he is so desperately seeking.

We spend most of our day, my staff, a lot of the members of the Department of Law and myself, dealing with things that have nothing to do with policy or governance,” Ms. Palin said in the interview. “It has to do with setting the record straight in this game that’s being played right now.”

By all accounts, Ms. Palin became consumed with the complaints, no matter how small-bore — which many were — or where they came from.

She can not fight every complain and she is too stupid to know that!

It's very pathetic of her to put her ambitions, ahead of the American people's issues!

Yeah, here's an expert on government philosophies with no emotional connection to the opinion. Is he the best spokesman the Democrats can come up with to bash Sarah Palin?

----------------------------

I dont like Palin but I would watch her reality show! I think the family is a good family, I just do not think Palin should be voted into office because the family is cool. President Obama has, have and had ideas, you may not like them and initially some of them may not seem to be working but he has ideas. And if you give it some time eventually these ideas will be beneficial.

Why is this news? Boy, CNN seems to be pretty infatuated with Ms. Palin...

Great source CNN. Very credible. Anything to diss Palin, no matter how low you have to stoop.

I think that Levi is a whiney little boy that needs to grow up and shut up. He's saying fame got to Palin's head, but he's cooking up any reason to be in the media spot light. Get a life you loser!

I'm surprised that after last week's mumbling speech, people still want her to give speeches. Oh and BTW when she says "canidates who believe in the right things" does she mean her way of thinking?

CNN, do we really care what an immature 19 year old who didn't even think enough to use a condom thinks ? I know people are trying as hard as possible to pile on Ms. Palin, but let’s keep it relevant.

Are the ethic compalints being thrown out because people want to see her on the 2012 ticket? I think "Housegate" should be investigated to the fullest but there seems to be no mention of that! Todd and his friends built the house? Sure............

Why won't the media ask questions on this? Levi and the Palins were on good terms then, so let's ask him...

Sarah will be on FOX NEWS very soon!! This would eventually lead to a talk show or REALITY show!! She most likely would get a lot of views from her fans and the Non-Fans who want to witness how STUPED she is going to act... Therefore, her ratings would most likely be UP and the REPUBS would look at this and THINK they are SOARING in ratings because of Sarah --

Then once again the REPUBS are going to have a BIG LETDOWN in 2010 and 2012 because they truly believed ALL the listeners who watched FOX NEWS - "ONLY" to witness PALIN making a fool of herself - was REALLY behind them -– "THOUGHT"!!! LOL

If there was an idiot club this guy would be President and the media VP for interviewing him.

While I'm no fan of the palins, if someone offered me a few million dollars, I'd take it and run too. It's the reason I buy a lottery ticket every week! That being said, ms. palin's staff looks petty responding to the kid's comments. It would be better for her if the media were able to print, "neither ms. palin no her staff were available to comment. It's called taking the high road – something she and ms. stapleton are unable to do. Her camp's overwhelming need to have the last word on every subject will be their downfall (not that the vast majority of Americans have a problem with that).

When can we be done with Sarah Palin stories?

Im a democrat, and I dont care who this guy votes for.... my head hurts.......

Isn't his 15 minutes of fame up yet???

Who really cares about Levi Johnston, he is a punk kid that needs his back side tanned and his mouth washed out with soap so he can respect his elders and quit playing to the media.

CNN, quit listening to this PUNK KID

Go look in the mirror kid. You're just talking about yourself and who cares if she lost your vote or not, you little twerp!!! I pray the young people across America are smart enough not to follow in your foot steps and I am not talking about not voting for Palin, I am talking about your life in general.

CNN – Who cares about this guys opinion! He is just out to grab his 5 minutes of fame and he should have stopped 6 minutes ago.

I heard in letterman show that this lady got mad on media and startes shooting at wolf blitzer from her helicopter.

Johnston like the lights and keeps baiting the media and hauling in lots of MSM, desperate for anything negative on Palin.

How talking about how this jerk gets Bristol pregnant, the dumps her. Guess fame is a more enticing mistress.

And why do we care what this kid thinks? He obviously is stretching his 15 minutes of fame. He's non commital himself. Didnt do the right thing and marry because of the child he brought into this world. CNN – youre wasting your time on this guy...

Well, Levi, you fathered a child and do not wish to take any responsibility for your actions. you liked the girl for her beauty and when the responsibility came you tuck your tail under and left and now you have superstar status through the media. SHAME ON YOU..! HOW DID YOU GET TO THE SPOTLIGHT..?

Is CNN serious...hearings have begun for a potential Supreme Court Justice and they are running something that Entertainment Tonight would be proud to cover. When did CNN lose its focus?

If it hasn't been said thousands of times before on these comments, enough with the Palin stories. Nobody cares!!

Even a blind person can see that this silly young man is being used, in this case, by small-time Alaskan lawyer on the make. There are many reason, why Governor Palin might not make national office, but the coached views of this "useful idiot" is certainly not one of them.

In the first 16 months as Governor of Alaska, fro January 2007 to the end of the second legislative seesion, Sarah Palin has more-or-less delivered on her promises to the people of Alaska. Her recently achieved agreement between Exon Mobile and TransCanada consolidates her best achievement. Her accomplishments in this period is greater that that achieved by most governors in eight year and greater that Barrack Obama has achieved in his entire career–or Sec Clinton. Time to move onwards and upwards.

Levi is an idiot and idiots shouldn't be allowed to vote. Palin in my line of thinking is working on rebuilding her party, perhaps at the request of Steele and/or others. The main priority now is saving the party and I think that's why she's doing what she's doing. After the way the party hung her out to dry I'd think she'd tell them to stuff it. The party sent out questionairs asking what the people thought needed to be done to rebuild and the answers must have shown lots of Palin support.

seriously??? we are taking commentary from the 19 year old father of her grandchild about his assumptions on her politial and professional decisions???? He hasn't even been in the picture with the Palins since right after the election. How could he possibly speculate. Levi is just trying to prolong his 10 min in the spotlight on the coat tails of a national figure. Lame... Lame...

Although I am not, I repeat NOT, a Palin fan in any form, who really cares what Levi thinks. I think the media has lost it's collective mind.

And CNN asks if coverage over Jackson was excessive while covering stories like this one. This is clearly gossip peddling. This guy doesnt have first hand knowledge of why Palin resigned so why is CNN putting a mic in front of him?

Levi, Palin, her promiscuous family value daughters, and the rest of this tragic comedy: you have all used up more than your allotted 15 minutes of time... show some dignity by fading away into VH1 reality TV oblivion... the lot of ya...

Who cares what this kid thinks about anything?

I am by no means a supporter of Sarah Palin.... but I have to wonder CNN.... why do you report everything that comes out of this punks mouth as if it were news worthy?.... why does anyone care who this guy votes for or doesn't vote for? Maybe he should focus on his child instead of trying to make a buck in the ridiculous circus that surrounds Palin.

How is this news? My plans are not to vote for Obama in 2012. Can I be highlighted here in Cnn.com?

WHO CARES WHAT LEVI THINKS? Why is the media still talking to this no talent idiot?

This guy has the audacity to say that fame got to Sarah Palin's head. What is his claim to fame? He is just milking his 15 minutes.

if i was her, i would not think i was famous. i would be hiding from public. poor excuse for a governor!!!!!!

Why don't you go slither under a rock-Slimebucket.

Why is it Levi has more credibility than Sarah?

So....? I just want to know why we care about this boy and his issues with the Palin family when there is so much else going on in this country like Sotomayor and Healthcare. I HATE that the media takes these trivial things and over-blows them, and don't give us REAL news. I do not care if this Levi boy votes or does not vote for Palin. That's his choice! Why do I care??? CNN, start giving us REAL news like what is ACTUALLY going on. Though I am a Democrat, I think we should leave the Palin's alone. They say that's what they want, though I know they LOVE the limelight. If you leave them alone, they will not get in our way, and we can stop their inflating egos before they cover the world.

What other right things does Palin support if she can not support the state that elected her. Looks to me that she is more interested in her new found fame, rather then her so call right things.

I wonder how much the Libs are paying this idiot to slander Palin....??

Are we really to believe what this "leech" of an ex-boyfriend says? This kid has got to go – he is nothing but a loser trying to hang on to his 15 minutes of fame! And it only goes to prove that Levi Johnston does not have any brains or class talking about his son's grandparents the way he is. What a low -life piece of scum!

When are we going to get smart in this country and just forget about garbage like this kid and his family!

He is nothing but a scam artist!

Why don't you crawl under a rock where you belong-Slimebucket.

And Levi Johnson is relevant and newsworthy how? Give me a break!! This kid is just full of sour grapes. He needs to shut up and get an education and a job so he can help support his baby instead of being an absent and irresponsible father. If anyone is out there trying to pimp themselves out for money and fame, it's Levi. He just needs to shut up and go away and the media needs to start reporting things that are newsworthy and more important than this idiot.

Hasn't this guy's 15 minutes ran dry? I mean come on. Why should we believe anything this KID has to say. He has no standing and is not educated. He can't even practice safe sex. He sounds like a bitter ex boyfriend who has no clue how the world even turns. He states, "Fame has got to her head". Well if it got to hers, then yours has gotten 10x bigger. Know before you speak and go ahead and write your tell all book you whinner!

This is not NEWS, where is the real news

What a hack article. I've seen High School rags that hid their slant better than this.....

Believe me, I'm no fan of Palin...frankly I can't stand the woman. But why on earth are we listening to this silly boy. He isn't related to Palin by blood or marriage. Why do we care what he thinks?? If he's accusing Palin of going after the money, then what about him. TO THE MEDIA: STOP COVERING THIS BOY. Let him stay in school and get an education and work for his money. This insane obsession w/Palin is ridiculous. The woman resigned so let her fade away and let Johnston do the same.

Wow, now this is news!!! Every so called journalist who puts this man (child?) on TV should not be allowed to do interviews again. This would never happen to a Democrat. Even the Today Show had an "exclusive" interview with him. What a joke!

Are you kidding me...this is why the media has such a bad reputation when it comes to their bias regards Palin...why is this news worthy??? These are comments from a child that I suspect would have trouble finding his way home without MapQuest...why does CNN give this any play...rather a poor reflection on CNN more than on this misguided kid...

Don't you mean Ricky Hollywood? He changed his name.

What does anyone care what this little boy has to say? If it wasn't for Sarah Palin, he'd still be a nobody who knocked up his girlfriend. As for quitters, I guess he hasn't looked at himself in the mirror lately. His 15 minutes of fame are OVER! LOSER, move on!

Palin is the creator of her own misery plain and simple. Every piece of news coverage was brought on by her on actions after the election. From fighting with a teenager after he did the tyra show, fighting with letterman. She parades herself in front of the camera as well as her prop children, than cries about it when it gets covered as she desired.

Then she quits her job that she only held for a minute for ethics violations that were brought mostly before the tap for VP by her own Alaskans. She doesn’t respect the laws and thinks that being held accountable is a bunch of you now what.

She is also saying that her legislators are fighting her up there. Here is a hint Sarah, that is what they are supposed to do! Do you think it’s only you? Is Obama getting a clear path with NO resistance to do what ever the heck he wants? NOPE!

We know she has signed a 7 million dollar book deal; money is no longer an issue she can cling to. Nor is she saving her state money by stepping down.
STOP PLAYING VITCIM PALIN!! YOU GIVE REAL STRONG WOMEN A BAD IMAGE!!

I'm sorry. I thought I was at CNN.com, not TMZ.com.

This happens when you bring someone in the LIMELIGHT when they did not ask for it and FORCE them to pretend EVERYTHING is cheery and nice!! Those teenagers "should not" have been exploited the way they were!!! Johnston is most likely telling the truth and was unable to do so when he was UNDER THE PALIN ROOF – playing house – doing whatever he was told to make the PALINS look better...

WATCH – the PALINS – or the PALIN-SPOKEPERSON – is going to challenge what Johnston is saying and call him a LIAR!!!

It's funny how the media cant leave palin alone ,this media obsession is crazy dont you people have anything better to report on!!

Who cares what this idiot thinks? Sounds like he's trying to cash in on the lucrative deals.... After all, he's only selling his 'story,' to any news hound that'll come along....must've found out those child support payments can add up....and since he's shown an immense amount of irresponsible behavior, I doubt seriously that he has a job.

CNN stop covering this moron just to muckrake Palin, practice some responsible journalism....heck, even the liberals I know are getting tired of your sensationalism.

This is so deep for a 19 year old. Grow up CNN and start finding real news and comments to report.

Does anybody really care what this uneducated, riding on the coat tales, kindergartner thinks? It just seems the only reason he got involved with Sarah Palin's daughter was that she was a Governor's daughter and he looking to cash in on her public status. Levi is a LOSER!!!

Why are you using the bitter, unemployed boy as a compass for news. CNN, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

What he says is irrelevant.

So please stop with the smoke screens.

Get over this crap!! This is news like Obama's gazing at some chick's butt is... What kind of losers are you for reporting it anyway????

He's a teenage dad that doesn't have the common sense to pull out. Yeah buddy, you are the stereotypical Democrat voter.

Palin is going to be another worthless figurehead that no one should give an ounce of attention to. "I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation," she said. The "right things." I chuckle at what her definition of "right things" could be. That's a very broad statement but coming from a broad it doesn't surprise me.

Why is anyone giving this jerk...the time of day...CNN you disappointment me big time... What, if anything of substance does this idiot have to say...he is looking for his 15 minutes of fame and shame on you for giving it to him....

Nobody cares about a man who's greatest accomplishment is impregnating a teenage girl out of wedlock. I can't wait until your moment in the limelight if over pal so you can go back to your backwoods trailer.

Pretty disgusting how the media is destroying this woman's family.

Why is NBC interviewing this 19 year old kid. Who cares what he thinks.

Who cares!

I am a Independent voter- Are all you GOP nuts? Don,t yu get it? Palin is roasted-done-a loser! Is that all you have to offer- a guiter? start looking for a fresh,new person- with vison in line with the every day man- not the grand ole party which Bush put in the thrush bin-You better get in line or a new party power say "GREEN PARTY" will make you all and I mean the big buck guys too history!

Come on CNN, this is just beneath you; I have a 20 year daughter she and her friends believe that the Manchurian Candidate is history, (after all it was on the History Channel), and that their parents should support them until they are “like” old – you know 32 or something because what else would they want to do – stop pretending that interviewing this kid is journalism and that his utterances carry the weight of insider information.

She may have lost his vote from Johnston but Gained my vote ! WASH OUT !

Who cares what this guy thinks??

Get this kid away from the microphone. Levi Johnston is NOT news. He is a fame seeking immature dolt with a drug dealer mom.

This dude is a wonder of the world.... I can't understand why he continues to be in the news... It's like the news puts him there because everyone will look to see why he is there....

Stop the doomsday campaign !!

While I have little regard for Sarah Palin, I don't think CNN should be quoting her almost-son-in-law as an authority on her economic desires or her mental state.

Here's where I'm gonna have to say it...
WHO CARES?!?!?

Is anyone really surprised thaat she decided to look out for herself and 'take the money and run'? Even if it meant leaving the constituents up there in Alaska in the lurch?

Insofar as campaigning for politicians that have 'the right values', which ones would those be? Out of wedlock, teenage pregnancy? The spousal of racism at political rallies? The shooting of animals with high-powered rifles from helicopters? The lying? The total embrace of stupidity? Which 'right values'?

Why is this guy still getting media attention? Somebody must be buying his time.

So, she says she will "go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation." My question is, who decides what are the the "right things?" Abstinence vs. sexual education? Shooting wildlife from helicopters? Teaching that the earth is 6000 years old and denying any form of science that proves otherwise?

How is this news, please? Who cares what this guy says?

Palin will begin the mother of all doomsday campaigns.

This woman gets more bizarre every day. How can ANYONE even think about voting for her any more? Quitting a "rough job" like Gov. of Alaska because of stress?? Give me a break. How can anyone expect her to have handled the stress of VP, or God forbid (if McCain had died) POTUS. We now have a POTUS that can juggle several problems at one time, and I don’t see any cracks in his veneer. Palin the barracuda needs to be put to rest and forgotten about.

And we care about what Johnston says because ???????????

Anything for news (yellow journalism), eh CNN?
Didn't you hear, she quit her office and hasn't said anythig about running for anything, but still you persist in attempting to destroy this person.
What is this all about...ratings?

Really, how can we believe much of what Levi says? Is he really credible? He too is an opportunist, is he not?

Now if he's telling the truth.................Just verfies how and why most people can't stand her, she's a freak!!!

I am no fan of Sarah Palin.
But when did Levi Johnston's opinion on politics become relevent? All he did was father a child with the daughter of a governer.
He doesn't need to be condemned for that, but he doesn't need to be congragulated by being granted his fifteen minutes of fame because of it either.

Who really cares what this kid says. I would bet he's been out of the loop for some time. I'd bet he is doing this for money. CNN should find a more reliable source if they want to continue stories on Palin.

Palin is nothing but the punchline to an awful lot of jokes. Why does CNN feel compelled to continue reporting about her?

What a drama! CNN, please talk about something else. How relevent is these talk-talks?

Hey...there's a smart Alaskan – YOU BETCHA!!

This losers 15 minutes of fame ended a long time ago. Why does CNN consider his opinion news worthy?

I would not vote for Palin if she ran for in 2012 either but this kids story seems like he just wants to stay in the lime light. This "Family" seems like it would be part of the day time soap opera line-up.

he's probably telling the truth. after all he was sleeping in the house with her daughter.

Not to Levi – you better keep milking the limelight because you are at 14 1/2 of you 15 minutes of fame.

Thanks CNN and NBC for this hard-hitting news. I find myself hanging on every word of Levi's insightful political commentary, and have actually changed my opinions on numerous issues as a result of his 'speculation'. I'll be curious about which of your two news organizations can hire him first, because he deserves a weekly national platform and audience!

It is really amazing that someone who knew Palin so well, is willing to tell the truth given that she is a powerful political figure. Despite being trashed by Palin's political goons, Levi continues to show great courage and honesty in giving America the real story.

Oh boy!!! Now she'll come back with her grammar impaired rhetoric, I can't wait!!!
What this kid says is not CNN worthy though, come on CNN, have some self-respect. Tabloid trash here.

The Christian fundamentalists always learn the hard way: "God" is not necessarily on your side.

Why on earth does CNN continue to report this drivel?

Does anyone really care what this guy thinks? I would think the last guy in the world who would tell the truth about Palin's life or her family is her daughter's ex-fiance, the one person who would want to hurt the family for spite (or dare say revenge). Seems to me he keeps trying to throw fuel on a bonfire to turn it into an inferno. Johnston...you are just the old ex. Go away.

If there's one thing I care less about than Sarah Palin, it's this niblet's commentary on her. I'm not really sure when getting a gov's daughter preggers made one a pundit, but this is the second ticker/article about this kid in a week, and I think CNN should stop covering this. Leave this type of silliness to the celebrity gossip blogs.

Levi Johnston is just trying to go for the money, just like Sarah " No Mas" Palin is doing. I don't like her, but at least I would respect her if she just told the truth, that she is going for the money!!!

Another excellent and hard hitting story by CNN. Next why don't we report what this guy has for lunch, and then perhaps what he watches on TV later tonight? Pulitzer Prize material in the making, folks.

As much as Palin disgusts me, I think she is doing the right thing – for her. She never seemed capable or that interested in serving the public. She always panders for publicity, and I don't blame her for going for the money, tho there is always plenty floating around for politicians...
This sounds like any other family – what should I do? Should I go for the easy money??? And I appreciate Levi's perspective.

That said, I hope she falls flat on her face in her new career. Unfortunately, there will be a huge audience for her, somewhere, as there is no shortage of people wanting to follow mindless loons with big mouths. But I can still hope! To me, she is still lipstick on a pig – and press-on nails on a chalkboard.

Why does CNN continue to give this loser a voice? His claim to fame is that he knocked-up the governor of Alaska's daughter (and aren't his parents proud).

Caribou K-Fed has something to say?

Geez, when will this extended family of wackaloons find their way back OUT of the news cycle???!?! I'm tired of hearing about them.

"I would do just about anything for her ...." – except shut up.

Johnston you are not alone. She has lost my vote as well. The woman is not serious at all in taking a very demanding job!

I love how the liberal left tore this kid a new one when he was in Sarah's camp, and now they're drinking down every negative word he has to say about her.

Are you serious? Why does what a 19 year old kid thinks about any politician merit national attention? You are an embarrassment to journalism.

This isn't news and CNN should stop pretending it is. No one with an ounce of intelligence cares who this kid votes for or supports. I'm so tired of seeing the "news" stories about the Palin family and the baby daddy. CNN, please leave this nonsense for the National Enquirer and give us some real news.

This boy is a fool and an opportunist. Apparantly, he is forgetting that he is the father of Palin's daughter and a part of their family. Family does not turn on family .. at least not mine. We have values which are more important then money or fame.

I like her...good speaker... but quitting her job as governor was a very bad political move... She has no chance for a future in politics...no one will vote for a quitter...

When the going gets tough, maybe you should quit and blame the democrats.

Unfortunately, Sarah Palin came into the national spotlight and found out what partisan politics truly is.
McCain picked her because she has a good reputation with Democrats and Republicans, was young, and was a reformist.
Once she came out with John McCain, partisan Obama supporters and Democrats savaged her, most of which she did not deserve; no person does. Civility has disappeared from the national stage and people with a genuine interest in helping the country have to be wary of the spotlight.
So Levi lost her vote? I think Levi lost Sarah's vote when he got her daughter pregnant...and then left her.

What?! Like I'm going to listen to a kid who isn't old enough to vote! Stop putting this fame-grabber in the limelight.

Ouch! She must regret the day she trotted him onstage as a prop. But at least we got to see the effects of abstinence only and family values within Palins family.

She never had my vote.

REALLY?!? How can this possibly be news?!? HOW?!?
Levi Johnston is 19 years old. Palin isn't even an elected official anymore. There are no immediate elections. And I don't really care why he thinks Palin quit...
This must be the start of a slow news day.
Come on CNN, you can do better than this. I believe in you.

Not surprizing.....Listening to his point of views and the way he is looking for "freebies" he is for sure a democrat. sounds like a future Obamabot to me

Who cares what this immature – know nothing has to say about anything. The only reason he is even able to comment is on the shirt-tales of his illigitimate baby. What a total waste of time and looser this guy is!!!! He hasn't been around Palin for many months – can we drop hearing from this looser?

Who cares what this "kid" says or thinks? Report some REAL news.

Fame did get to her head, but we knew that. She clrarly was not ready for prime time.

we picked the right person and the right party for the pesidency.

Why is this clown news? Other than knocking up his girlfriend, what has he done? STOP interviewing him and get back to being journalists.

Like it really matters.

I'm a Republican and I'm tired of many of current Republican decision makers destroying this party. The Republican party, in my eyes, should have more moral standing. It is time to "excommunicate" those who tarnish the reputation of the GOP with infidelity, scandal, and lawbreaking actions. These people will never get my vote. I don't care if they're Republican or not.
If you want to be in the GOP you had better be honest, loyal, and above all non-partisan. If you cannot commit to this then stay out of politics. It is time to clean up Washington and you yahoos who keep voting for the same old candidates are to blame. I truly believe you have to stand up for your principles but there comes a point at which negotiations call for sacrifice by both sides.
Right now neither side seems willing to do that.
Dems seem to think that the last election gave them carte blanche to do whatever they want. Remember it wasn't long ago that the Democratic party was thought to be a non-factor and would never again hold any clout. How soon do they forget how easy it is to get back to that place.
Their arrogance will bring them down, and it is just a matter of time.

Seriously CNN, you consider this kid's opinion important? Maybe you should also check with Lindsey and Britney, to make sure you get their thoughts as well. Have you asked Levi what he thinks about the stimulus package? What about Justice Sotomayor? How about the bank bailouts? I'm dieing to know his thoughts.

the more levi can tell us about the "palin clan" the better. i only hope he is telling the truth. could you imagine a reality show about that family??? yeh, me neither. it's unfortunate but republican women for the most part will listen to ANYTHING she has to say. the sad thing is they will believe what she says too.

Is this a tabloid news site or real news? Why would you report on the how sum smuck kid with an axe to grind would vote? Try running an actual news website!

At this point, the whole Palin clan needs to step out of public view. It's just become a trashy reality show.

I am sure that Sarah Palin is not losing any sleep because she lost his vote. I think he is after the money with all of these so called interviews. He has taken no responsibility for the care of his child so he has no room to talk. Shame on the media for keeping him in the news.

give me a brake! why would anyone listen to this guy ? the liberal deseased low life press continues to print this crap. america wake up and vote out these marxis liberals.

This kid's 15 minutes are up. Bristol is so much better off without him.

Amazing...this kid has more sense than Palin !!!!

this is so irresponsible of Levi, he'll be Tripp's father forever and these comments will come back to haunt him..probably already tearing the family apart..keep your mouth shut!!!

And you are reporting this "news" because . . . . . ????

You are kidding right? Who the frig cares about this LEvi Johnston. His mother was charged with drug related crimes. He reminds me of an opportunist... shame on CNN for carrying this as news.

Levi should have respect and keep some things in the family... for goodness sake that is his child's grandmother.

Do people really care what this guy says about Sarah Palin? Has cnn turned into People or Ok magazine? Come on cnn.

This guy has the progressive media wrapped around his little finger.., suckers!!

She needs to take about 6 months to a year and rethink her positions and rhetoric. If the Republicans are going to ever regain any credibility on the national level, they have to stop the knee jerk pessimism, corporate butt kissing, and 'gratuitous' Christianity. As a Christian, the idea of an American theocracy is terrifying. No thank you.

Levi said it best...saying that the fame has gone to Sarah's head. No doubt about that. Palin got in way over her head, and if she thinks that it was stressful being Governor of Alaska, she has no clue what's in store for her attempting to become President.

What she should do is cash in on her fame, get her millions, maybe do some speaking, and give up running for office. It's time for her to think about her family and not her potential destiny. Time for her to live up to her "family values" claim.

I'm not a huge fan of Sarah Palin, but my feelings for her are practically adulatory compared to what I feel for Levi. He's a 19 year old kid who knocked up his girlfriend, and dropped out of high school... he does not deserve to be on CNN's Political Ticker. PLEASE let US weekly deal with this kind of "news", CNN you can do better.

I give the kid a lot of credit. He had the entire GOP establishment telling him he had to get married and he stood up and walked away. He made a stupid juvenile mistake and he'll pay for it, but my guess is he'll be a good dad, albeit a single one.

CNN your so pathetic....do you think anything that this kid says is actually news?

You think this is newsworthy??? CNN is becoming a joke – this belongs in People magazine, not in a "reputable" source of news. I'm proud to say I had no idea who "Jonston" was until I clicked on the link from cnn.com's LEAD PAGE.

Johnston should just keep his big mouth shut-what on earth does he really know? He's just a kid and is talking against the grandmother of his child. Why would anyone interview him in the first place?

Oh snap, he's quoting from "An American President" now....Sarandon said it better

The Palin family doesnt need this guys vote. He is just looking to make money (he and his drug user mother). He is a poor excuse of a man, a father and I am sure that the Palin family is glad to be rid of him. The family deserves much bettter than the likes of him.

I always wait to hear Levi Johnston's opinions on issues of the day prior to voting for anything or anyone. God help us.

This is like tabloid media! Where is the real news?

I am a conservative who doesn't support Palin. I think she is polarizing, much like Hillary Clinton was. Most either love her or hate her and she can't win enough support across party lines to be a viable candidate.

This young and immature boy, Johnston, makes me laugh. He is pathetic, but the fact that he can get all the liberals cheering him just shows their lack of intelligence.

I know a 19 year old un-wed father is who I always look to for political analysis.

Why do we care what this guy has to say?

Sarah Palin,flew way too high,
her "Maverickiness" was all a lie.
Chosen as a sop for the lunatic fringe,
she made the Banker Republicans cringe.
The party over, she wouldn't go home,
from podium to photo op she would roam,
While ethics charges and and malaprops mounted
and laughable marericky statements were flounted.
She finally took her ball home, left the stage
for a shot at a B-List celebrity wage.
Oh Sarah! Oh Sarah! You will not be missed,
(the mics were drowned as your deflating ego hissed).

I'm sorry, but why should I care what Mr. Johnston thinks about his nearly-mother-in-law? Aside from the fact that she is his governor, what sterling credentials does he possess that could possibly make me consider that his comments wouldn't be more fitting for People Magazine? Come on, CNN–raise your own bar!

Nineteen-years old, questionable commitment to his out-of-wedlock child and he's got an opinion to share with the world about an elected state governor?
Great. I think Palin's a joke but this guy's at least as pathetic.
Can't these people just go away?

It took this long to lose your vote Levi?

And I'm supposed to care about this why? This guy is like the Joe The Plumber of Alaska. And, frankly, I can't think that he's calling up the CNN affiliate and offering his opinion...I suspect it's CNN calling HIM.

Why, I can't imagine.

Sarah. Sarah. Sarah..
Just go away already...please.
We thought it was finally over. No more Sarah Palin. Period. And yet, you continue to grasp at the last little threads of your 15 minutes...Enough already!!!

If you think America is dumb enough to even consider an uneducated, socially unsophisticated, ambitious, attention grabbing, shrew such as yourself for President of the US and leader of the free world, then I seriously need to ask you exactly what color the sky is in your world.

Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt.

GO AWAY!!!
Please don't try and take this out of context and twist it into yet another attempt to garner more attention...
Seriously. Dude! Just go away...and take that succubus, Mehgan Stapleton with you...

How is this news – or important – or even interesting? Other than Palin-hating wing nuts, who cares what this loser says???

I do not understand why so many waste their time time with this lady. She is an out of touch, insignificant politician, who the Republicans regret for choosing as a VP candiate, which embarassed their ticket. Further, she has the intelligence of a mental midget, as demonstrated each time we are burdened with hearing her unfettered deplete facutal opinion. She can not hold a candle to David Letterman, so she certainly does not warrant further compariosn. Let her fish in Alaska, the State she has abandoned, no more of Palin

Thank you for your valueable insight Levi. Now, stop being a hypocrit about milking the fame cow and focus on getting your life together.

CNN, please go back to reporting real news.

w/e...Alaska has swiftly become a cosmic hanging chad...

This kid hit his head against a moose too many times?

Thanks, Levi. I really look to you for adivce on who to vote for.

Seriously, CNN, is this the best you got? Really?

Who cares what Levi thinks? Why not ask him how he is going to support his family? Solve the economy? Any other question that we really know he knows nothing about.
PLEASE get rid of anything about this guy!

I think Levi Johnston should just sit back and shut his mouth and not start saying things that aren't true he is just looking for his time in the lime lite and is upset because he split with palins daughter well get a grip there is more in this world than getting revenge I think he needs to stay off the television and stop telling all of these lies sooner or later Sarah Palin is going to tell everyone what is going on I am sick of seeing his face on tv.

"Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton has dismissed Johnston's take, referencing his own show business aspirations. "It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills," Stapleton told reporters last week."

poor Sarah is tired of people saying mean things about her and her children. Levi, for better or worse, is someone's child. he is a teenager. perhaps Sarah and her gang ought to walk the walk and drop the snarky comments directed at Levi.

Another Sarah story? Come on people!!! She has retired. Can't you retire the stories about her? She is no longer relevant, except in the National Enquirer right along with the other aliens.

I consider myself a economic conservative and a social liberal and I would not vote for Sarah Palin for any national office. I find it revolting the the national media media would use this clown to trash her.

I can understand why Levi Johnson is bitter after Palin threw him under the bus. That 's this womans normal behavior. If you examine her track record,apart from the constant "ME ME ME" As soon as the going gets tough etc she's outa there. The trouble with Palin is that she believes her own press and cannot understand that people of little education are doomed to fail in the political arena. For example George W could never have made president without his daddy having, not only been President before him but also the head of the CIA before that. Palin does not have the luxury of having freinds in Washington. And don't please count on John McCain. As recent history has shown he speaks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.
The simple answer is Levi Johnson is right about Mrs Palin.

It's obvious that Palin has used her children as her personal stage props. I have no doubt that she would have gladly used them all to advance her own notoriety on a reality show. After all, dragging her pregnant, unmarried teenage daughter and her Down Syndrome child into the spotlight to enhance her persona was part of her political facade. Contrast her behavior with the Clintons, who strongly protected their daughter's life from the glare of publicity.
Palin is a selfish and ignorant loser, and by quitting the governship to benefit Alaskans, she has admitted that.

Palin sure does sell!!

I find it very very very funny that a Palin post will goo to 300 in minutes, 85% of people ripping on her. If you want her to go away, stop giving attention and CNN and others will stop giving her coverage. You just can't stop yourself though can you?

talk about looking for fame, bet this sore looser has a pr person guiding his every move now. never liked him, and less now he is bashing palin.

What a... surprise?

I would be curious to know what Democratic candidates she is supporting at this time. It is a bizarro world up there in Alaska, this Levi kid is starting to sound somewhat reasonable and sensible while Palin seems stuck in some bizarre circular reasoning and time honored paranoid explanations in an attempt to justify her erratic behavior.

I am curious to see some ongoing polling amongst likely Republican voters to gauge if her support stays steady – if it does, it will tell you a lot about the future of the Republican party and the likelihood of a bloody party battle that could ultimately lead to a third party......the reality of our political landscape in the US today is that the labels Democrat or Republican are increasingly meaningless over time – the real "parties" in American politics are the conservative party, the liberal party, and the moderate party. Palin is the clear, unabashed champion for the conservative party. But where do we moderates go? (who are concerned about big government and higher taxes but are more liberal on social issues?)

And the lol's continue...

Palin is trailer park trash, she lied about her daughter and
Levi getting married. She tried to glorify her teenage daughters
pregnacy. First she tried to hide it by have her holding the baby
while on stage. But the truth came out and Palin and McCain
came up with the lie. She a lier, and her following are all very
small minded people. Thank God there only a small number
of these people left in America, these people want to take us back
in time. Not happening.

They Lost
Diane

Why in the hell are CNN and other major media giving any play at all to what this irresponsible child thinks or says? His single claim to fame was irresponsible, juvenile sexual misbehavior. How does that qualify him to pass judgment on anything? Please, please, grant this kid the shameful obscurity he has earned!

Does it really matter what this guy thinks? Seriously CNN, find some news WORTH reporting...

Now that there is a news flash for sure. Duh, of course he won't vote for her, but millions of others will. His vote really isn't needed and probably isn't wanted. What a loser. Get a job or find another hobby besides Palin bashing.

Since when is an irresponsible jilted teenager's opinoin news? Talk about a man scorned. Wake up CNN!

CNN, who cares who Jethro is voting for. How about a little coverage on the firm from Steny Hoyer's district getting 18 MILLION dollars to re-design the "recovery.gov" website? This firm has donated solely to Hoyer's campaigns in the amount of 19K in the last decade or so.

I'd re-design for half of that and wouldn't need a MULTI-YEAR contract to do it.

There is a private run recovery.org doing the same thing, more effectively and for far less.

Have a nice day!

Why is this guy still getting attention? I could care less about his opinion and/or speculation.

Enough of this guy.

Palin brought this young man into the spotlight at the Republican and used him as the FIANCE not boyfriend of her daughter. I hope he is able to cash in just like Palin is doing.

I wonder how much Palin is also working on a piece of fiction and honing her own acting skills.

I wouldn't be actually. He dumped the girl he impregnated. Just goes to show you he's irresponsible, I wouldn't want him to vote for ME

I don't think Sara Palin is any different than many in Washington theses days and that includes some Democrats. They are opportunists and they care only about how much money they can make and care little for their constituents. Prime example right now is the health care debate. We need a public option and the Republicans and some blue dog dems are against it. But if we don't get it the costs will continue to rise as there will be no competition. The HMO's have been consolidating and in many states people have no choices and so they can charge what they want.

Please stop giving this kid attention! It's bad enough a featherweight like Palin keeps getting press, but this little weasle is riding the coattails of coattails.

CNN, why is this story posted twice? This is the same deal as last week. Who gives a crap what this immature little turd thinks? I think it's the pot calling the kettle black. Find something more important to talk about, like people dying for their freedom in Iran, or genocide in Darfur. You know, something newsworthy.

I think someone else is taking the money and running and looking for an easy buck. The feeding frenzy begins!

I get down on my knees every day, kiss the ground, and thank the Lord that my country doesn't have a nut bar like this women at the top of any of our parties.

The theory of evolution is a theory, but it is the best theory we human beings have. And to believe different is absolutely insane.

Shouldn't Johnston be looking for a job right now?

I think Johnston's the one looking for fame right now and is looking to start a Reality Show.

The good news is he has CNN there to promote him!

Like I really care that this young man who is making money off her fame will vote for her or not. He only wants to use that family. Useless as far as I'm concerned.

What a maroon.

A ninteen year who is saying fame went to her head.Why is this kid getting so much attention from cnn. Would cnn post any comments if the nineteen year was bashing a dem.Why dont you people grow up.

I wasn't going to vote for Palin BEFORE her latest actions.
Granted, Levi isn't better than Palin, but I do agree with one point he made – Palin was/is in it for the $$.
So conservatives, you can't blame the liberal media on this one, not when your own kind are selling their souls to the devil for profit.

That photo is hilarious... the glaring "CNN" logo on the mic thrust into this idiot's face. Ha ha ha. Well, the 19 year old high school dropout isn't voting for Palin... I guess the rest of us shouldn't either!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Levi Johnston.... once again proving that any idiot is able to open their mouth and prove their (un)intelligence.

Seems like John McCain and John Kerry got less media attention post election than this kid. Could some other poster please explain to me why we should care what Levi thinks?

Who cares what this irresponsible kid thinks. If he isn't smart enough to avoid a teenage pregnancy, they who is he to give political insight? Why is the media giving him airtime? All this type of reporting does it give credence to the reports of "witch hunt" journalism made by the Palin camp. Perhaps they're right!

She seems to be a money grabber. Lost my support I am an Independent Conservative,she never had my support, but now I completely dismiss her as politician she behaves like a "carpet bagger" absolute opportunist,no substance in her opinions just a false attempt of political attention grabbing. She has no direction at all.

Vincent
Your Independent Conservative

And we care about his vote why?

I am not a Palin fan, but whoever believes anything this kid says is a moron.

Seems like John McCain and John Kerry got less media attention post election than this kid. Could some other poster please explain to me why we should care what Levi thinks?

Palin is a train wreck waiting to happen. She won't end well.

Mirabile dictu !! The unbelievable intelligence of this young man. The things he knows about Ms. Palin's innermost thoughts. No doubt he is destined for great things, probably on the payroll of CNN. But only as long as he can keep up the charade of feeding the public what the media is feeding him for distribution. But then 99.7% of you reading this do not understand "Mirabile dictu."

This 19 year old father of Sarah Failin's grandchild speaks more coherent, intellectual, and articulate than she does. Sarah fears the day his tell-all book is released.

She is totally superficial, She makes no sense when she talks and seems to be a money grabber. Lost my support I am an Independent Conservative,she never had my support, but now I completely dismiss her as politician she behaves like a "carpet bagger" absolute opportunist,no substance in her opinions just a false attempt of political attention grabbing. She has no direction at all.

Vincent
Your Independent Conservative

She goes around railing on the mainstream media yet doesn't hesitate to pull them into her life at any moment. How do you spell hypocrisy in Alaskan?

This guy is some 19 year old idiot. Why do you even cover this guy?

Why do I care?

Dissed by the Palins, this guys only claim is being the father to sarah Palin's grandchild. He is taking this to the bank everyday and cashing that check. Then the media junps all over a comment about Palin resigning to earn cash while the iron is hot. I guess he knows about that now doesn't he. I'm not sure that the country should be hanging on every word spoken by a 19-20 year old that id carrying a grudge.

Face it. Sarah can't stand the heat, so I guess she's back in the kitchen? I hope people realize if she couldn't govern with all the controversy and media attention, it's a pretty good indication she's not ready to handle the pressures of being President.

look at the source speaking...... not a brilliant kid.....
He'll be 250lbs in 20 years and still talking about his 15 minutes of fame in a local Alaska pub... and no one will be listening anymore....

Only media who wants to slander Sarah Palin in any way they can, cares about what this deadbeat dad thinks. Liberals are afraid of her therefore they are working 24/7 to find dirt or create dirt on her how ever or where ever they can. CNN shame on you!!!

Wow. They should not have picked him up to be part of the campaign to look like the 'perfect' American family. It would have played better if the daughter chose to raise her child on her own. It was too obvious.

Now, they have rolled him out like an old wagon wheel after letting him in their very private space.

The lack regard this family showed to this young man is coming back to bite them.

Why would anyone vote for her if she is stressed about running Alaska. Thats nothing compared to running the country....

Is this what news has come to? I wonder how all this media attention regarding Levi's distaste for the Palin family will help him when his custody battle is finally taken to court...

Why does a respected news organization give space to this guy? Why do I log on to the Internet and see a headline quoting a 18/19 year old kid with limited education whose only accomplishment is that he got a high school girl pregnant. Enough CNN

Mine Too
Good job Levi, Speak Up

Is your 15 up yet? Go away loser. Far, far away.

Who cares what an unemployed, uneducated leach thinks? Wait, shouldn't he be a progressive with those credentials? Palin is old news too. Can anyone name the democrat VP nominee in 1988? Hint – Senator from Texas – named after a cigarette....Palin will fade into history like so many other also rans....

[...] I mention this because moments ago when I was trying to read a post about someone commenting on Dick Cheney in retrospect, what I actually got to read first was this miserable dreck. [...]

"Take the money and run" Now that's the "Real America" that she keep talking about, while she goes around the country supporting candidates who believe in the right things. She sounds like a 5 year old.

This do-nothing punk takes the cake! And the close runner-up is CNN, which continuously reports on every bit of tripe that comes out of Levi's mouth! Levi, GET a job and CNN, DO your job!

Why is CNN lowering its journalistic standards to that of a gossip rag? Why would you report the political opinions of this stooge, Levi Johnston? The vitriolic hatred of Sarah Palin by the mainstream media and the liberal Left, with the cheerleading support of an uncouthed, mean spirited segment of the public, continues discover new lows.

Whether you agree with her politics or not, Sarah Palin is an American who should be celebrated for her accomplishments as a small-town, ordinary citizen who worked her way up to become Governor of Alaska and a prominent national political figure.

I'm starting to like this kid.

What could this 19 year old punk possibly know about world politics and who is, or who is not, a good candidate for anything? And Anne Curry was shameless in showing her own personal politics. OH, but I forget, the NBC studios have been the headquarters for the DNC for nearly a year anyway.

Why do they keep interviewing this guy? If anyone has a reason to egregiously slam Palin it is him. The guy wants to make money off of her and says whatever he needs to stay in front of the camera.

What makes this guy a political pundit or current Palin insider?

Altho i'm not a Palln supporter, it is unprofessional and petty journalism to continually interview an obviously talkative, thoughtless, mean-spirited 19 year old. Don't we have more important things to investigate or write about?

Who cares what she does or says as long as she fades into the background. I don't even care if she gets rich, so long as I don't have too hear the bimbo every time I turn on my tv.

When you're a Republican... it's ALWAYS about the money!!!

Altho i'm not a Palln supporter, it is unprofessional and petty journalism to continually interview an obviously talkative, thoughtless, mean-spirited 19 year old. Don't we have more important things to investigate or write about?

well Levi Johnston is just another Joe The Plumber. Johnston is the former boyfriend of Palin's daughter Bristol and is the father of Bristol's baby, free ride in the media. I don't think America care what he say but CNN put the mike in front of him and the band plays on.

This guy has been and is an nut. He is writing a book (Assuming he can write) and he needs to stay in the spotlight. Palin should ignore him and treat him as he should be treated. A Non Issue.

What is more amazing is that CNN thinks this is news............ and they wonder why the ratings are down??????

Levi get a life....look who is talking...lets see how many time I can get my face on tv. You have no room talk it all about what i can do to get on tv....you love the the press and media to futher your career on tv. You was a no body until august and now you got a taste of it and want more. Just shut up and get a life.

Just what I want to here..... The opinion of a horny teenage boy that can't keep it in his pants and appears to ignore his responsibility as a father. The media in this country SUCKS!!!

Palin has already reportedly signed on to headline an event sponsored by the Republican Women Federated of Simi Valley, California in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library next month. She's also being courted to keynote a major Iowa Republican event next fall.

Most women will never vote for her, only the religions nutting women will becasue they believe in the same things she believe. Sara maybe can start her onw party for the RELIGIONS NUTS.

stupid kid............
NB: i am a democrat

Ah, the obligatory anti Palin story for the libs to chew up.

"She means a lot to me, I would do just about anything for her, but I really don't think I would vote for her if she ran for president.

This guy's an idiot. He should date Meghan McCain.

Good to see that anyone who has something negative to say about Palin gets a chance on CNN.

Very telling and insightful. He's a fly on the wall. A little bug to be exact, and a sexy one at that.

"Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton has dismissed Johnston's take, referencing his own show business aspirations. "It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills," Stapleton told reporters last week."
-------------------------
Regardless of his own personal aspirations,, he is an adult and entitled to his own opinions. This guy is in no way perfect, but I'm sure he has seen enough to come to the conclusion as to whether he would vote for Sarah or not.

Maybe, just mahbe, there issome truth in what he said.

Naw, she is a superior leader who quits to lead better (and make some serious cash on the side).

Shouldn't Johnston be looking for a job right now???

Maybe Johnston is the one looking for a Reality Show. At least he'll have CNN there to promote him.

If Gov. Palin made this move for personal economics, she's also probably shrewd enough to realize she has little chance to become President with only the conservative slice of the Republican Party as her base. Looks like she can make some big bucks on the lecture circuit, and remain a "kingmaker" inside the Party.

why does this 18yrd old kid get air time? Ohhhh...b/c he is basjing Palin – anyone who does that is an 'expert' – good job, CNN. tools.

[...] Levi Johnston says Sarah Palin has "lost his vote."  Jeepers!  I guess this means him and Briston will NOT be getting back together. [...]

He also said Palin wanted to do a reality show, though her children were against it.

This is the only place Sara Palin will fit after she leave her job is on a reality show with Paris Hitlon. I do what reality shows and I might she just watch the Sara Palin show to get some laughs. Sara Palin is not Presidental and needs to stop all this maddnes about running in 2012.

Could someone explain to me why CNN and NBC are making such news out of a 19 year old who's only claim to fame is that he knocked up a governor's daughter? Two days, two news stories about his understanding of Palin and her motives. If he were the next budding Freud, if he had his masters in psychology at age 19, then this would be interesting. There would also be somewhat more relevance if he were still dating Bristol, and thus had more exposure to the family.

They broke up months ago. He has no outstanding credentials. He has no more insight into the thoughts of Palin than the teenager who lives closest to the governor's residence.

Really, can we have some NEWS on this and NBC? Doesn't CNN stand for Cable NEWS Network?

Palin's proverbial pace in quittin' the guv. job, has left many scramblin' for an explanation, and Levi seemed to have a legitimate leverage over his ex-mom-in-law- to- be's decision. Money makes many men and women (un)happy.

While it's not surprising Levi makes these comments I have to say I wouldn't be surprised if his comments were true. It does sound plausible.

Firstly, Johnston needs to shut up.

Secondly, Democrats and the left-wing media should be absolutely ashamed of their completely irresponsible and immoral treatment of Palin. Their goal was obviously and unabashedly to destroy Palin. Well, sounds like they've succeeded. Hope they're happy to have ruined someone's life and aspirations.

maybe she realized she lost the election for mccain because of her hate speechs, ignorant enterviews with the media,diva attitude and just pure lack of knowledge on world affairs that proved she was very unqualified for the job. she is the most self-centered person i have ever seen. she should put her children first, stay at home with her challenged baby and save the alasken tax payers their money. she will never be more than she is right now. she is an embarressment to mccain and a loose cannon for anyone around her.

I didnt know they grew turnips in Alaska.

I just called Jerry Springer show and let a message for Jerry to get a hold of the Palin Family becasue they are really trying to make it too you show, but don't know how to go about it. I believe Johnson before I believe Sara Palin. She did a inteveiw with Washington Times and now she saying she wants to campaign for any body that will have her including the Dems. We all say thanks, but no thanks. Sara Palin is a divider and we don't need no more division in our party. Sara Palin posion to any party.

Levi has no reason to lie. What he says makes perfect sense as well. The Palin spokesperson is simply a liar paid to spin.

Good luck finding a Democrat that would appear with Ex-Governor Ex-VP candidate Ex-Director of the oil and gas commission Palin. Champion quitter.

Smart kid..... of course the boob never had my vote since she's inept and a right-winger.

I don't see how the Palin camp doesn't consider a credible source of information. I think everything he's telling us is the truth.

Levi for Governor of Alaska
