Spring Break
Palin a great choice to represent America's youth

But here's the catch: if Palin passionately supports abstinence-only education, why is her 17-year-old daughter pregnant? This seems a bit hypocritical. A person in a leadership position needs to practice what she preaches. It's an unfortunate example for parents who stress conservative, moral beliefs, to have their children behave in such a manner.
It is also unfortunate that the Palin family has been personally attacked these last few days. We all know children make mistakes, but with Bristol Palin's pregnancy in the spotlight, some conservatives are growing less enthusiastic about supporting Sarah Palin.
"It's troubling because you want to believe in Sarah Palin and believe that she's the day to McCain's night," said Christine Kohn, a 5th-semester pharmacy and music double major.
Kohn said the situation makes her wonder if there are other problems, familial or not, that Sarah Palin keeps hidden. What does she really stand for?
Palin brings a glimmer of hope into what looked like a hopeless presidential election. If you're concerned about the future of America, make a well-informed decision on the ballot this year.

Does this article have a point?
You say Palin would be a great choice for America's youth, but than fail to specify why a group that is generally overwhelmingly pro-choice, pro-comprehensive sex education, pro gay-marriage, and anti-intelligent design in schools is suddenly going to do a 180 and vote the social politics of the religious right.

I hope you support killing polar bears, wolves, and whales for the production of oil, because that's what you're voting for.
