We've recently had the issue of Governor Palin's daughter's pregnancy come to light by more mainstream media outlets. I, for one, am very much against any media source going against a candidate's family unless there is a just reasoning. I don't believe that the bloggers who went after Palin's daughter really had any reasoning to do so other than, maybe, contempt of some sort. The mainstream media outlets had not touched on the issue at all (although Hurricane Gustav was to thank for some of that) until these bloggers brought it up. I can see how it might raise some character issues about the governor, but I find that to be an out of bounds topic. There are plenty of other issues about her that can be called into question without having to stoop to digging up dirt on somebody's family. I say give it a rest and go after the real concerns.
