Is Track Palin illegitimate too?

[Fearless]

"The Palins were married on Aug. 29, 1988, having met in high school. They eloped, the story goes, to save their parents the expense of a wedding.

But they may also have been trying to avoid having a child out of wedlock. Their oldest child, 19-year-old Track, was born on April 20, 1989, just eight months after their wedding.

In a story about Bristol's pregnancy, The New York Times suggested that the Alaska governor had also conceived out of wedlock.

"The Palins eloped on Aug. 29, 1988, and their first son, Track, was born eight months later, a fact that Maria Comella of the McCain campaign declined to elaborate on," the Times reported..."

I know that there's a bunch of people out there who are going to flame this because we "shouldn't attack her family", but in reality her family choices are too important to ignore as that very same reasoning (sound or unsound) will be involved in the running of this nation if elected. So, respectfully, if you don't like talking about this stuff, don't talk about it at all.

1. Perhaps conceived out of wedlock.

Looks that way.

But not illegitimate, since he was born after they were married.

2. still wondering who the actual father of bristol's baby really is. after all, fundies are known

for their sick little perversions.

3. Oh for crying out loud.

WTF cares? It's been so long ago, it's all water under the bridge.

4. the hypocricy of the family values crowd is stunning, isn't it?

[Whisp]

5. people are not illegitimate - that's religious nonsense. nt

8. Very true... yet with short space in the title it's the easiest thing to say.

6. Before making an argument, always ask yourself... will this win over any votes?

In the case of whether, like Obama's parents, the Palins had a bun in the oven when they married, it will not sway a single vote. It will only make the Democratic culture look as crass and hypocritical as we currently see Gov. Palin.

9. It doesn't have to win us votes just lose them votes.

7. First one can come at any time.

It's the second one that takes nine months.

10. A "legitimate" child is one born--not conceived--to married parents.
