I think if the tables were turned the right would be slicing and dicing this issue 24/7 on the babble news channels. If one of the Dem nominees had a pregnant teenage daughter this would be being played very differently. It would be on their talking points with a bullet and they wouldn't be saying "see what family values looks like." Which is basically what they're saying now.
I think you are right. If this was a democrat politician this would be played very differently. If one good thing comes out of this (besides the baby) I hope it is that we can remove this bit of political posturing -- family values -- out of the discourse.
