Tell me I'm not the only one not following the Palin pregnancy drama.
I just have no time or interest. I have not followed much of anything about Palin's family. Anyone else just not interested?

1. I've put every baby-gater on "ignore". DU oldtimers, newbies, trolls, all of 'em.
That's where they're stayin', too.

4. One more.
It's a distraction from the true danger this woman poses if she gets within
a heartbeat of the Presidency. I DO NOT CARE.

5. I'll go a step farther and say the pregnancy "drama" is part of an elaborate Rovian trap
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 09:29 AM by slackmaster
Along with stories that appear and then go away, e.g. the AIP membership thing. The idea is to draw premature fire, so as to waste ammunition and make Palin's opponents seem mean-spirited.

The whole thing is a massive distraction. They've floated an attractive female candidate who happens to be deeply conservative. She looks great on camera, and violates all kinds of liberal-held assumptions about how a woman is supposed to think and behave. So she gets lots of attention.

John McCain is the GOP candidate for President. Their VP pick is certainly important, but for the last three or four days it's been all Palin, all the time.

What about McCain?

7. you're not--it's not an issue and if we keep pushing it, we might hurt Obama.
Lots of families have children who have unplanned pregnancies.

10. Yep. I've already seen reports where they put
Obama's name hand in hand with "despicable internet stories".

We don't need this.

11. It's not just the fact that as an Obama volunteer we are told frequently to
stay out of the gutter, no negativity, the families are off limits. I get to take part in a conference call from Obama today for all team leaders volunteering for his campaign. I can't wait to hear what he has to say.

12. Hey, that is great!
Please keep us posted.

I'm hoping all the peeping toms on DU will finally tire of beating this teen pregnancy thing. It's kinda creepy, really.

17. I'm interested in the fact that some so called Obama
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 10:01 AM by Balderdash
supporters don't give a shit that Obama has said that families are off
limits. They know best apparently. I think if some on the left keep
after this woman in this way it will be a plus for the enemy and will hurt
Obama in the long run.
