You can awfully spattered dragging someone through the mud
Which is why Obama's comment makes sense: "people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics."

Rove has taught the republican insiders how to run circles around things like this. They will work to tear us to shreds if we push the Palin story. They're already working hard to do so.

Fascinated as I am by the story, I mean to make this my last word on Palin's family until the debates, unless of course she throws in the towel before then -- but I'll bet she won't do that. Sounds like she's got ambition, and running with someone as old as McCain, she probably figures she'll be president herself soon. We need to react against her policies, not against her family.

Ok, spoke my peace, now it's time to get back to work.

2. Odd you mention Rove, whose MO was to have Bush 'take the high road,' while the 527s/blogs
tore John Kerry to shreds. Sounds a lot like Obama is doing the same thing.

5. Frankly we don't have to bring the kid up any more
The secret is out there. The damage has been done. Now all we have to do is talk about how abstinence only sex ed fails. And the jerks have no where to run to.

7. She opposes sex education. Does she want all our kids to

become pregnant at 16? She's an a**hole who would deny women choice. Everything about her and the way she lives her life is fair game.

12. We CAN talk about her policy on these issues without brutalizing her family.

8. Your right, Palin should have left her family out of this!
After all she is the one that said yes to John McCain while knowing her 17 year old was pregnant and that rumors were already going around Alaska about her pregnancy.

She's the one promoting abstinence while trotting her pregnant unwed daughter onto the national stage, literally.

Yep she should have left her family out of the spotlight of modern Presidential politics or at least been open and honest from the beginning.

9. I make those threads 0. I don't hide them and I don't put the DUer on ignore, because I like
knowing what is going on. I just do not read nor reply.
