Um, talk about ways to have your Presidential chances totally thrown out the window, and it would be tough to think of any better reasons. First, he chose a woman from Alaska with hardly any experience.
Palin, 44, a self-described “hockey mom,” is a conservative first-term governor of Alaska with strong anti-abortion views, a record of reform and fiscal conservatism and an outsider's perspective on Washington.
“She's exactly who I need. She's exactly who this country needs to help me fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second,” McCain told a roaring crowd of 15,000 supporters in Dayton, Ohio.
Next you have the afformetioned conservative woman who believes in family values, announce that her 17 year old daughter is preggo.
The Palins, in a statement released by the McCain campaign, said Bristol “came to us with news that we as parents knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned” and that their daughter “has our unconditional love and support.”
“We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates,” their statement said.
Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.
And finally, you have a hurricane hit during your Republican National Convention. Rock on.
