There's 2 right there that are completely painted into a corner, because they either have to lambaste the GOP VP pick (bad) or exonerate her, and therefore go against decades of spew from their judgemental perch (worse).
It's truly a dirty tactic from what are supposed to be a lot of moral, "high-ground" people. I think Obama did the best thing when decreeing that Bristol Palin's pregnancy was off-limits -- the media will still pursue it (and other questionable things) while the Obama campaign can just hold its hands up and say "What? We told them no, they didn't listen!"
I'm shocked at how well Sarah Palin's coming out of this, but I'm equally impressed at how well Obama will come out as well, since he's spoken against attacking Palin's family. Politics is funny like that.

I just happened to be watching CNN right after they did a news story on Palin's daughter's teen pregnancy, and they had a small panel that included Bill Bennett. All he did was huff and puff and chastise CNN for running the story and reitirate what Obama said that families are off limits.
