I think it was a calculated effort to get Hillary voters who think Obama stole the primary and to give the religious right a reason to support the ticket. With some/many Hillary supporters it seems to be working, just take a look at the hillaryis44.org or pumapac.org sites. Their goal is to defeat Obama and run Hillary in 2012.
I'm not sure if her daughter's pregnancy will have any effect on voters perception of her abstinance only and no birth control education in the schools. The religious right will probably like the fact that she walks the walk when it comes to her anti-abortion stance though also her advocating teaching creation in the schools.
