While I don’t like McCain’s choice of running-mate (I think it smacks of “Oh, I need something to trump the African-American thing. Quick, get me a woman!” and that there were more qualified people for the job.) I am really not happy with the media's coverage of her daughter's pregnancy. Palin’s daughter being pregnant has no bearing on the campaign. Does this make Palin less qualified for the job? No. Does it mean she’s a bad parent? No. Is it a family matter? Yes.

Now, it is interesting to note that Governor Palin is a proponent of abstinence-only education in schools and the situation is further proof that that doesn’t work. However, this is a matter for the States and not the Federal Government.
