The Palin Debate: What It Means For Obama
Sep 3, 12:25Days after Sarah Palin was named as McCain’s running mate, news has spread that her 17-year-old, single daughter is pregnant. The news has had mixed reactions and the outcome of it is currently unknown, but it will certainly have an impact on the upcoming election in one way or another.
On one hand the evangelicals seem to be happy about the decision because Palin’s daughter is keeping the baby, showing that they are truly pro-life. Others claim that it shows Palin is a bad parent who can’t even look after her own kids, bringing up the question of how she could be the vice president of the country.
Some have gone as far as to suggest that Palin will be forced to withdraw and McCain will select another running mate. Of course such a move would prove very beneficial for Obama because the opposition would be in utter chaos. That possibility exists, but it is rare and most likely she won’t drop out. She may lose the Republicans votes, but she may also help them, it is really unclear at the moment.
