And apparently these decisions are not above Palin's pay grade either.
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us,' the Palins' statement said. 'Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."Does it hurt her campaign? It should not!
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
A Democratic attack on this issue will surely backfire.
Obama's remarks:
"I have said before, and I will repeat again: People's families are off-limits. And people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics."
He is correct.

Palin really is one of us....and McCain may be regaining the Maverick moniker he had in 2000.....For the first time in 32 years I am voting GOP for President.
Would you feel the same if it was one of Obama's children that was pregnant? From the hackery I've seen on this website - I think not.
My math is off a little...I only see four kids, not five...
One child is serving in Iraq, that is why you only see four.
You only see 4 children because the 4 month old baby is not in the picture. Damn, try to use your brain a little.
And, of course what IV says about Gov. Palin makes her top notch material for VP and President if needed, right?
I always wonder when someone says, "So and so IS one of us."
What the hell does that mean?
Better be remembered like this:
Citizens were lined up and watching FDR's funeral train pass by and a old man was standing there crying his eyes out.
A reporter asked, "Did you know FDR well?"
"No, not at all, but he knew me."
You figure is out...
