Tully, here's the real deal. Having a militant anti-abortion anti-sex-ed right winger's daughter be an unwed pregnant teen looks really bad. It exposes the cracks in the policy. To prevent that being a legitimate thing to point out, that faction has to hide behind the "dirty pool bringing family into it" argument. They don't have a leg to stand on--not since Palin sent out the frilly pregnancy announcement to the press. But it's the best they've got.
AND I'm completely with you--as I've said before--there's plenty to bury this woman without bringing her daughter into it.
