Bristol Palin Pregnant

ST. PAUL (Reuters) – The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.
…Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter’s pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.
In my opinion this is the most stunning news of the campaign so far. A conservative candidate (yes, McCain IS conservative, no matter what Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh think) chooses an unknown woman governor to be his running mate in a move to appeal to the skeptical conservative base, knowing that the governor’s unmarried teenage daughter is pregnant.
The man has brass balls.
I’m literally speechless, so please register your thoughts below.
