After returning home, Palin eloped with her high school boyfriend in 1988 to save money on an expensive wedding

1. I found this line....

from her Wikipedia information interesting:

"The two eloped shortly after Palin graduated from college; when they learned they needed witnesses for the civil ceremony, they recruited two residents from the old-age home down the street."

Huh???

9. OMG, that's too funny.

[Mike Daniels]

12. It gives her a bit of a free spirit appeal

My sister and her husband went/eloped to Canada to get married and pretty much asked two random bystanders to be the witnesses.

This isn't going to hurt Palin.

7. Oh my gawd she has sex before marriage and got pregnant!!!

What is wrong with you people?

Judge much?

McCain is an idiot, but do we really need to take it out on Sarah?

[KitchenWitch]

8. Yes, but these are the kinds of picadilloes the Rethugs hammer at the Democrats for.

We will see if this gets any press at all.

Libeal media my ass.

[Fireweed247]

11. well we all know the corporate media is not liberal

but do we really need to lower ourselves to their stupidity?

[uppityperson]

13. 3 words, for example: Yes. Bill's penis.

[Liberal Dose]

16. It's called shining a light on their hypocrisy. nt

[Lifetimedem]

18. I do not think it is hypocrisy

She could have aborted the baby , but chose to marry and stay married to the guy. I would say that makes her prolife stand demonstrable .

I would guess most evangelical woman had premarital sex, that does not mean they would prefer to have their daughters keep their virginity as long as possible.

I know I hopped my girls would stay virgins until they were old enough to make wise choices, one did and the other did not.

I do not think she is qualified to be president if McCain dies, but that has nothing to do with her sex life or her kids.

Who are we to judge that family...lets look at her political and leadership experience

[Liberal Dose]

19. When they are relying on the fact that Palin is a mother to make her more electable, she had better

pass every test they would give a Democratic candidate in the same position. If she does not, it is hypocrisy.

10. Any one have any info on Sarah's previous marriage?

[zbdent]

20. I remember the line from "Look Who's Talking Too"

the Roseanne baby, when asked about whether or not she was in a wedding:

"I was in one, but nobody was supposed to know ..."
