If Democrats try to attack, it will backfire spectacularly-Bristol Palin pregnancy
A McCain campaign official tells ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that McCain knew of Bristol's pregnancy and "didn't believe Governor Palin should be disqualified" from the vice presidency because of it. "If Democrats try to attack, it will backfire spectacularly," the official said.

Gov. Palin is a strong proponent of teaching abstinence-only sex education to teenagers.

McCain campaign officials said the information was released to combat unsubstantiated rumors that Gov. Palin's fifth child, Trig, born in April, was actually Bristol's child.

The unsubstantiated story, circulated on liberal websites, was based on circumstantial evidence, such as photographs of Gov. Palin looking quite thin when she was supposed to be seven months pregnant, as well as Palin's own account of Trig's birth -- which included her getting on an eight-hour flight from Texas to Alaska after her water burst.

The McCain campaign refused to comment on the record about those rumors.

IMHO they are scared. This is going beyond our little blogs. MSM are trailing on this story, but what happens when the National Enquirer is on this?

1. The Democrats don't need to attack
Any sentient person can see what a foolish and dangerous man McCain is without any additional commentary. What he did is idiotic on its face, and Palin's kids are innocent victims and we need to protect them by putting them off limits. Better to let the public decide for themselves rather than being "told" what to think. It's so obvious to attack would be deemed overkill and could backfire. (It's ok too snicker secretly where no one can see you!)
