Well, the embellishments are mine.

But supposedly the revelation about the daughter was in response to trying to squelch a rumor.

Perhaps; but I am kinda thinking the media would have figured it out pretty quickly and she just wannted to beat them to the punch...my take anyway.

Actually, they tried what they could to try to conceal the pregnancy. They shunted the daughter off once she started to show, and during the VP announcement, she was holding Palin's baby and covering herself up with the drool blanket across her entire front:

They also showed her with a blanket or bag in front of her when she wasn't holding the baby. It looked like a bad editing job on a TV show when they are trying to hide a pregnancy.

Despite the public pronouncements on the issue I am still suspecting that the phrase "pregnant unwed teenage daughter" never came up in the vetting process.

For me her personal family issues are nothing more than a highlight to the much more important issue of her views on sex education.

I'm not sure McCain had time to even ask her this question given the timeline from meeting to offer.
