ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Likely GOP presidential nominee John
McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, are
traveling to Mississippi to check on people getting prepared for
Hurricane Gustav.
Their trip comes just as delegates are preparing for the
Republican National Convention, which begins Monday.
His aides say McCain and his wife Cindy will join Palin in
traveling to Jackson, Mississippi, at the invitation of Governor
Barbour. They will receive a briefing at the Mississippi Emergency
Management Agency.
Republicans are worried about holding their national convention
during the storm.
If the storm's landfall is serious, McCain says he probably
would rethink allowing the four-day political gathering to
continue.

What the extreme leftist radicals were first trying to do was spread a rumor that Sarah Palin’s youngest child was actually her granddaughter. That is dirty politics at its worst!

Young love has been going on since the beginning of time. If the Dem’s try to make this an issue in Palin’s qualifications, I think it would blow up in their faces.

The Democrats should be ASHAMED for bringing that 17 year old into the ELECTION. I would love to see a list of how many of the democrats who have been running their mouths about this have children who have had premarial sex, or an abortion or pregnant before marriage. Let those without sin cast the first stone…. Stick to the issues. I am not condoning premarital sex and pregnancy but it is a family issue not THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION’S!!!!
