Huge Props to those who wouldn't give up on the Pregnancy story...
I personally believe that this is the year that Democrats finally figure out how to win an election. First, don't ever let anyone tell you that you shouldn't talk about or research something. That's for the old style Democrats who are more concerned with offending someone than proving we're relentless and won't go down without a huge fight. Republican candidates will think twice in the future about running lying, coverup, no experience, unvetted candidates.

IT'S ON NOW PEOPLE, FIRST DOMINO HAS FALLEN, WHAT ELSE IS TRUE OR HAS BEEN HIDDEN?

1. Now this poor 17-year-old is going to be subjected to judgment from the entire world
And you're proud of that?

2. And who's fault is that?
It wouldn't be her mother's for agreeing to run on a national ticket for four months now would it?

4. Her mother should have thought about that before accepting.
The Alaskan news agencies have been very kind in keeping this a hands off story.

Now the whole world knows that the kid is unmarried and pregnant.

5. That's her MOTHER'S fault for accepting the glare of the spotlight
Another strike against Palin's judgment.

She expected to be put in front of the nation and the world on the Republican National Ticket and didn't think about the ramifications? Is she that isolated that she doesn't realize the relentlessness of either the media or the blogosphere?

Bad judgment.

6. I'm not judging the girl -- I think we, especially,
understand and feel for her.

It's her mother's judgment that is being called into question.

WE'RE not the ones who accepted such a high-profile, under-the-magnifying-glass position knowing that there was an issue that would hurt our child.

Judgment is a valid criterion for a person claiming she is able to be the President of the United States.

10. Yes. I am. I'm proud that the GOP VP nominee
is getting a proper vetting. No christian voter should be misled into thinking they are voting for a righteous candidate when in fact their lives are full of satan-inspired mis-judgements and ill-will to mankind.

Yes, I am damn proud the Palin's are being exposed to the Christian crowd.

If Rove and Co. had their way, the baby would have been aborted quietly, the would-be father paid off, and the rest of us would be none the wiser even as we are told that abortion is evil, stop having sex, and support the GOP.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

14. LOL You Think They Could Have Hidden It For Long?
It was bound to come out anyway. Didn't Palin realize that?

17. You are pointing your finger the wrong way
Her Mother was aware of her condition she also should have been aware of the scrutiny it would bring she should have refused the VP slot.

You want to blame someone blame the mother that put her child in that position.

18. It was only a question of now, or four months from now. Her pregnancy
couldn't be hidden forever. And if she was in the public eye, that is nobody's fault but her parents.

9. Daily Kos rocks!
Those Kossacks are mission oriented, and not dissuaded by hand wringers.

20. yeah you all are fucking classy.
And I am not worried about OFFENDING anybody. I just don't want to ACT and BECOME like those we criticize. Read Orwell's Animal Farm. The next time something like this happens to one of OUR guys NONE of you better be OUTRAGED when they carry on like you all are. Dignity is STILL important to some of us but apparently not to many. If you think this is the only way Obama can win than I don't know what else to say. Have fun WALLOWING in SHIT.

21. Whatever, where I come from trying to find out the truth is NOT bad
When you're looking for a rat, you have to look in the sewer sometimes.
