Move on

I don't think it's a big idea that Sara Palin's daughter is pregnant. Not to me, anyway.

I question whether it's wise for any parent to seek a position that will require so much time away when they have five kids--one of which is 5 months old and one of which is 17 and pregnant--but that's her call. If she thinks she can do it all and her family won't suffer from her absence, that's between her and her husband to decide. I'd say the same thing if it were him running, by the way.

As for the political impact, I think it'll have little to none. Vice Presidential candidates largely don't make that big of an impact (see Quayle, Dan one of least liked selections ever.)

Bad week for Republicans, though. The Palin story requires Republicans to play defense in what should be the VP honeymoon period. That while Gustav caused a lot of the convention to be cancelled and pushed it right out of the limelight.

Just heard Mr. Palin has a DUI on his record?
