    Actually, the Republicans are eating this up for the most part, because she is keeping the baby and therefore backing up her mother's and McCain's pro-life stance.

    where's the dad?
  5. Does anyone know the age of consent, etc. in Alaska? My dad and I were talking about this last night, and the father is 18, so....I know it varies by state.

    This from Sarah Palin's wikipedia entry:

    Sex Education - Palin is a "firm supporter of abstinence-only education in schools" according to CNN in 2006.[123] When running for governor in 2006, Palin wrote, "Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support," in response to a questionnaire by the Eagle Forum Alaska.[124][125]

    To which I'd love to see Joe Biden say to her at the debate: "How's that abstinence-only working for you?" during the up coming debate?

    Check out www.huffingtonpost.com:

    The 'baby's daddy' is a piece of work! It mentions some nuggets of 'redneckdom' on his myspace page...

    ...including "In a relationship" but "doesn't want children".

    Guess what, yer gonna have children!
