And Palin didn’t even try to hide the fact with a pregnancy suit! Imagine that. The Daily Kos bloggers swerved into something, didn’t they? Too bad they were a year off. Here’s her statement:

“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”

Pretty loving response. Way different from Obama’s words on this subject as Michelle Malkin notes:

One ticket sees this as a blessing. The other sees it as a curse. Could the core differences between the two be any starker?

Now the big question is: will Christians reject her because of this? The MSM certainly hopes so but I doubt it will have much of an impact. We like it when pregnant teenagers chose life.
