McCain's top policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, was asked today if the McCain campaign knew about Bristol Palin's pregnancy before Sarah Palin was offered the Veep slot, and he offered the following non-answer:
Asked if the campaign knew about the pregnancy at the time of Palin's selection, Holtz-Eakin said, "As I said, what I think we ought to do is recognize that the governor was completely vetted by the campaign. Senator McCain has complete confidence in her as a running mate and as a future vice president of the United States, and the particulars of the family life of the Palins is really something that's best left to them."
