Palin says 17-year-old daughter is pregnant

ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin said Monday that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant, an announcement campaign aides said was aimed at rebutting Internet rumors that Palin's youngest son, born in April, was actually her daughter's.

Regardless of the details that everyone is getting caught up in, there is a bigger picture problem here. Yes, Sarah Palin had a child in April and yes her daughter is now pregnant. But the big issue problem here is that John McCain's already questionable choice for VP is now again in the spot light. This is not good for McCain because even if there is nothing morally questionable going on, people, and other bloggers, still tend to make false accusations that people take way to seriously.
When Obama announced his VP, everyone talked about him for a day or two and then no one seemed to care. If people continue to talk and doubt Palin, McCain may be in some trouble.

It is better to not be in the spotlight if when you are, people criticize you.
