It's interesting that this daughter was holding Sarah Palin's baby at the speech Friday when Palin was introduced. Since she's 5 months pregnant, that allowed her to use the baby to cover her own belly bump.
I dont see hwo this can be a positive for Palin though. Critics are already asking how she could expect to raise multiple children and be Vice president at the same time, with one the kids having Downs Syndrome. Having a teenage daughter pop up pregnant just adds to the speculation that she cant properly manage her household.
This certainly doesn't help thins for McCain/Palin, but I 'm not sure how much it'll hurt. The media could end up making a big stink over it, or it could just get brushed aside.

I can't help but see this as a negative. Removing all partisanship, I would have to think that if Obama (or any other Democratic Presidential nominee) had a high school age daughter pop up pregnant, many conservatives would be all over it. There would probably be a few verses sprinkled in about ruling your house etc... No matter who the candidate is, this is a bad situation at a bad time.
Even Britney Spear's mother was hammered when her 17 year old daughter got pregnant.
Obama said if his daughter made a mistake he would want her to have an abortion so as not to be penalized with a baby.
It is not a good situation, however many of us have been touched close to home with this type situation. How they handle this is a better sample of their character than the fact that it happened. My niece married her child's father and though some rough times, they are following after the Lord.

You mean like JFK, Or Lincoln had when they moved into the Whitehouse? Maybe there is still a glass ceiling.

I agree. Obama said “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby."
Teenage pregnancy can affect any family. It even affects the families of Pentecostal preachers. It's just an unfortunate fact of life.
But I think this does show an interesting contast between how the Palin family would handle it vs. how the Obama family would handle a similar situation.
In the end, though, I don't think this will be a deciding factor in how people choose to vote in November.

I agree the contrast is stark, and I agree that this will not be major issue in the campaign.

At least this will be a minor distraction... at most it may cost some conservative votes... neither is a positive though.

My point was that it appears that partisanship instinctively tries to make us spin things in a positive direction and not be objective. I cannot see any conservative saying that Obama's high school daughter popping up pregnant would be a positive as it would make people relate to him. This forum would have exploded with people talking about his parenting, his family, his values, the example his family sets, etc...
I am starting to hate partisanship. I am consider myself neither Democrat or Republican because I am starting to see how partisanship is just a way for politicians to play both sides against the middle...the "middle" being America, her culture, people, ideals, best interests, sovereignty, future, etc...

Indeed. It does take a little bit of the shine off them, in the sense of being that picture perfect "All-American family". Some religious and social conservatives will definitely take issue with it.
But at the end of the day, for voters it will still come down to whether we want to live in John McCain's America or Barack Obama's America. That's what really matters here.

Only those who lack values wil have a problem with it. Just because many of the teenagers that have sex don't get pregant doesn't mean that they aren't doing it. No I am not saying everyone is doing it. How they are responding to the situation shows their values. When It is the pastors daughter do we mark the family forever? Or do we forgive restore and move on?

If Hussein Obama's daughter became pregnant, we'd never know. They'd kill it.
Obama is a dirt bag. (that was free).
Where's Rico??
