And I can't help but think that the dems would be shocked and outraged at the prying into a personal matter and linking it to the candidacy.

Possibly, but these days I think you'd get one of the following:

1) simultaneous appeal to the center/right and the left by using the child's situation to call for the strengthening of our family and also for programs for the inner city because we have to stop babies having babies.

2) a long speech by Obama about teen sexuality, how we all remember what it felt like, and how our policies and attitudes should be more forgiving and how there should be more, not fewer resources for sex education and birth control.
