Palins beg for privacy while parading daughter in public

By Libby

Call me crazy, but if the Palin family really wanted the media and everyone else for that matter to leave her daughter Bristol and the father of her illegitimate child alone, wouldn't it more appropriate for the two of them to stay out of the spotlight instead of appearing together at the Republican National Convention?

It seems to me that the story is polling well with the extreme religious right and the McCain campaign is willing to use the teens to score points with the base they badly need to energize. If the Palins really want to keep this a "private matter" then they shouldn't parade them around in front of the national press.

I'm beginning to think this whole Palin pick was just a Rovian trick to keep McCain out of the spotlight because if he gets too much scrutiny, his obvious unfitness for office would be the story instead.
