O the dilemma. How can the Democrats make points against Sarah Palin by throwing her 17 year old daughter to the wolves without alienating their own voters. After all, single Moms and their Moms are primarily a constituency of the the Dems. Obama declared the subject off limits, but, alas, the New York Times and Daily Kos didn't get the message in time.
The media frenzy over a private, family matter has served to remind voters of the stark contrast between the candidates on the subject of abortion. Sarah Palin encouraged her daughter's decision to carry the baby to term while Obama voted against providing medical care for babies who survive botched abortions.
Getting back to the real issues, Obama says he has gained the necessary experience to be President by running his own campaign. Since when do candidates run their own campaigns? Isn't that what Campaign Managers do? Then he compounds the deception by claiming that all Palin did was manage 50 people as Mayor, completely ignoring the fact that she has served as Governor of a state for 20 months.
And then there is the whining that Palin was not chosen because she was most qualified, but rather to win over those disaffected Hilary voters in swing states. Well, of course. VPs are always chosen for what they can bring to the ticket. But the Presidency is an executive position and when it comes to executive experience, Palin, who might have to take over for #1, beats Obama, who is running for #1.

I know you think the media is Liberal, but that does not mean they take orders from Obama.
Palin's daughter used her vagina and Obama used his vote. Both are entitled to do so. The surviving babies of abortion was not the only thing on that bill. It had more pork than Pork Rinds.
Obama ran the campaign I would venture more than Palin ran the State Militia. I won't vote for a guy who hasn't been promoted in 32 years. He's a go no where kind of guy. Granted, it's only his second job in his career. He is really just no ambitious.

I have just discovered your blog, and am delighted to have done so.
Without resorting to much of what the left does you were able to accurately make your point.
The beauty of all of this is that while we are all "entitled" to act as we please, with positive or negative consequences being the outcome, most conservatives are willing to defend that right, even if the actions/words/what-have-you differ from their own views.
I can tell you that is not the case when one looks to the "other" side.
