Hurricane Bristol hits Minnesota

Republicans try to brush off the tempest over Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and turn that other storm in Louisiana into a political prop.

    @Wright again

    Xanthro, I assume you were there when Palin told McCain her daughter was preggers. Or is it just that you believe everything they spoon-feed you?

    I was advocating that Gov. Palin would be a good VP choice for McCain back in January. I'm quite familiar with her career and the vetting process that goes on. Without having to rely on just the press.

    I also recognized Obama as a raising star in 2003, before his convention speech, and that he'd be someone's perfect VP in 2008 and then a shoe-in in 2016.

    Sadly, he's likely blown that.

    Now, explain just how Obama's mother's sexual history is relevant.

    It's not relevant, just as Gov. Palin's daughter's sexual history is not relevant.
