McCain's choice brings his judgement into question

The situation surrounding Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin's Daughter is a personal family issue and has no place in the politics of the day. In fact, in today's society the potential to have someone in anyone's family be pregnant and unmarried is practically commonplace. HOWEVER Palin's positions, and leadership do become questionable based on this event. If her position is abstinence; it should have been preached so fiercely in her own home that all would follow without question. For all the weak parents out there that believe you can only do so much...you are wrong. There are many examples in other cultures where children RARELY go off on their own and make mistakes that are contrary to familial beliefs. WE, as Americans, simply don't have that level of control or respect from our children. Her leadership comes into question as this issue proves she lacks leadership within the walls of her home. Leadership is partially defined as the ability to INFLUENCE someone to do what you want or need them to do. Her influence (not her directives) failed. While these qualities and this issue in particular do not necessarily disqualify her for VP, they absolutely bring into question the judgement of her being the choice for VP.
