First of all, let me get out of the way my reaction to news of Sarah Palin's daugher's pregnancy:
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
There.
Now, let's just forget about it.
Seriously. Let me tell you why.
We have the opportunity to elect the greatest president in the last fifty years. Universal health care. An end to global warming. Responsible foreign policy. Improvements in education - the list goes on. Obama has the ability to lead us into new heights.
Ms. Palin's daughter (please note I'm not calling her by name - she's seventeen, she deserves all the slack we can give her) should not be the focus of our attention. Going into the gutter of personal attacks gets us nowhere.
Remember Monica's dress! The rightwingers couldn't avert their eyes, and they wasted the country's time and resources on something that didn't matter in the end.
It's our time to lead. Let's make this campaign about the important issues, so that come January 20th, Obama will have the mandate he needs!
