Palin has indicated that Bristol plans to keep the baby and will also marry the father of the baby. Otherwise, Palin has asked the media to respect the family's privacy on this matter.
Speculation about the identity of the baby daddy has been met with protests that it is "none of our business". On the contrary, I think it is the public's business since Palin decided to make the personal, political - when it benefited her.
Palin was proud to hold up her five children, including a Down Syndrome baby, to the spotlight as proof of her pro-life stance. Now, with Bristol's unexpected pregnancy, Palin reveals that Bristol is ready to follow her mother's political beliefs then retreats to the safety of 'family privacy' before questions become too uncomfortable.
If Palin is going to make a play for one of the most powerful positions in U.S. politics, she should stop acting like a Hollywood star and take the heat. Answer some questions like:
- Who is Bristol's baby daddy?
- Was Palin too busy shooting animals to teach Bristol about abstinence?
- Will Bristol have to stay married for at least one term if Palin becomes Vice President?

Oh snap! Now there is speculation that Trigg, the Down syndrome baby is still really Bristol's baby.
Bristol's current pregnancy was originally revealed as proof that Trigg could not possibly be hers. Yet, photos of Sarah Palin taken a month before Trigg's birth show a surprisingly flat stomach. And then there is the weird multi-flight return to an Alaskan hospital on the day Palin's water supposedly broke. Finally, Bristol is reportedly "about 5 months pregnant," which does not bar out her delivery of four month old Trigg.
This is the story that just keeps giving!
She refers to herself as a "hockey mom" and the term has been used by the media in a very endearing context. Hold on one sec though. Being a hockey mom may win points in Canada, but do Americans really care about hockey moms? Don't hockey moms get lost in the crowd of American soccer moms and NASCAR dads? If the American public wanted to elect hockey moms into Washington, then they should look to Canada for an endless supply of them.
