Posted by vfrt on Mon Sep 1 13:33:17 2008 One more reason why I wanted Mccain to pick Romney.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Palin's unmarried daughter is pregnant. By MIKE ALLEN | 9/1/08 12:06 PM EST Updated: 9/1/08 1:18 PM EST http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13050.html Besieged by blog rumors about her 17-year-old daughter, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — named Friday as running mate of John McCain — released a statement Monday saying her daughter is pregnant and plans to marry the father. The governor and her husband, Todd, said their daughter Bristol plans to keep the baby. "Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that, as parents, we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned," the Palins said in the statement. "As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support." Liberal bloggers have drawn the ire of the McCain campaign for speculating extensively about the possibility that Palin's fifth child, born this spring, was actually her daughter's. Bristol Palin is said to be five months pregnant; Sarah Palin's youngest child, Trig, was born on April 18. Palin's presence on the ticket has thrilled evangelical conservatives — many of whom are strongly opposed to premarital sex. But Palin also is revered by the conservative base for her fierce opposition to abortion and the her family's decision to keep an unplanned baby likely will only bolster those credentials. The Palins have five children: sons Track (19) and Trig (four months) and daughters Bristol (17), Willow (14) and Piper (7). The statement from Sarah and Todd Palin: "We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that, as parents, we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support. "Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates." © 2008 Capitol News Company LLC |
