I cannot think of any instance where the media went too far here. A family values candidate has to know her daughter will be looked at. Especially when you as governor have promoted an abstinence only agenda in the schools, which has not, (obviously) and will not ever work. We deserve to know of investigations, we want to hear BOTH sides of it, not just what the RNC tells us about it. We need to know she WAS for the "bridge to nowhere" despite what they tell us. We need to know she was (is?) a secessionist, and an attempted banner of books. And despite you not thinking the father is a story, just try to have kept him secret. Then see how many serious journalists as well as crazy bloggers dug into that cover up. You know by now that if you try to keep something secret or cover something up, it will come out and be worse when it does. That's why the baby thing got so big to begin with. It wasn't in her bio, it was reluctantly released a day or two after the VP announcement. They couldn't have hoped to keep it quiet though, so that's a bit confusing. I think they knew the "liberal" media would report it and then they could point at them and say "they crossed a line, this is personal, see how they treat us?" and scored sympathy points at the expense of the mean ol' media. Which they have! And one more thing for no one in particular. Bristol did not chose to keep her baby. There has to be a choice, to choose from. EXCELLENT link there Dan.

We have so many different ways to find things out. But what is true and what is just part of true. We all need to listen and read in many different ways.
