Can you cite these "several" Dems you are talking about and what they are saying? I find that discouraging. You say they are claiming that the pregnancy is a reflection on her and not the vetting process so can you maybe throw me a link or something?

Have you watched CNN? I saw Dem strategists and talk show hosts pounding on the fit as a mother issue relentlessly.

An earlier link I put up was to Huffington Post. MG mentioned Colmes blog. Andrew Sullivan blogged quite a bit about the "who is Trig's real mother" story.

In short, the Dems have the knives out to take down Palin. I'm really not a big supporter of hers based on some of her positions but these attacks are pretty tasteless IMHO.

didn't obama throw a fit about the repub's attacking michelle obama for her comment, but yet i don't see the liberals easing up on this issue, and this is w/ kids, not the spouse. double standards. i like palin to be honest w/ you, and hope she stays on

I saw people saying that given her disruption of things and the legit questions about the investigation into her and the passport issue that the whole thing calls into question the judgment of McCain in picking her. Have not seen anyone say she can't be vice president because she has a pregnant daughter. Not one.

she was justified in firing that trooper.

big deal on the passport.

But to be fair, and this goes for both candidates, Obama can get upset all day long and it won't stop other liberals from bringing up these issues. If McCain condems a message such as Obama is a Muslim, that message is still getting delivered too. On the other hand I can't prove weather or not these guys secretly like it or not. I wish the Palin stuff and the Obama stuff that is either untrue or irrelevant would stop but we all know better than to believe that will happen.

The more this goes on, the more I love Palin.

Mind boggling.... if she is such a horrible pick and a threat to derail the McCain election ticket..... then why attack her???????????

Praise her and keep her on the ticket........

[GAVol]

It just came to light that the opposition research that was released to the press included her Social Security number, addresses and phone number. Can anybody ever remember this kind of hostility toward a VP candidate?

[allvol123]

They hate her. I love it.

amen, this is as good for McCain as the Hamas endorsement of Obama during the primaries.

her comment about not being proud to be an american until now

The daughter pregnancy is a non-issue IMO. As long as she doesn't lie about it or go around making family values speeches.

Perhaps they've moved off the issue because it was back-firing. I saw several Dem strategists specifically question her parenting skills and question why she would put her daugther through this by accpeting the nomination.
