When Republican Presidential nominee John McCain first picked Sarah Palin as he representative for VP it was already a big controversy. Days later, "The National Inquirer" dropped a huge story claiming that Palin's seventeen year old was pregnant with her boyfriends child. Hours later Palin publicly confirmed her daughter's pregnancy and that she intended to marry the father. The media still buzzing over Palin being a woman, went crazy when they discovered the rumors to be true. Many have criticized Palin as a bad representative, claiming that her daughter is a bad influence on the teenage girls of America. I on the other hand disagree. In my opinion, it possibly makes her an even better qualified candidate. Besides having a pregnant seventeen year old, she also has four other children. The youngest was just born last year and was diagnosed with down syndrome, and her oldest son just left for Iraq. I think that just her family and what she's already been through proves that she can handle almost anything. This in my opinion makes her even more relatable to the citizens of America, if not the men then even more so to women. Sarah Palin has also raised the percentage of McCain voters in the last week and hopefully will continue to do so. There are more people out there who see this issue as I do , but we won't know until November if there's a enough.
