From what I have heard this baby buzz started in conservative Alaskan blogs, and Palin has had a history or making snarky comments about her peers who have been in similar situations. This is going to be one of those "you made your bed" lessons for her - and sadly her daughter will bear the brunt.
For me, what I find so sad, is this pressure for the kid to get married at the age of 17. I can only hope they have a good 5 year engagement...
The problem seems to be that a lot of these people don't get the "you made your bed" lesson. I was listening to some of the Republican commentators earlier today and not a single one seems to grasp the irony here.
The way I see it is that this SHOULD be a private family matter, but it can't be now, because the GOP has made these decisions public and political. Every time some ultra-right-wing fool says, "leave that poor girl alone," I want to scream at them, "I KNOW! Don't you get what we've been saying!?!?"

Sadly, they don't seem to.
