"Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies. That's not the change we need, it's just more of the same,"

Okay, I just have to diary about this, although in many ways this falls into the "none of our business category".
But it appears that Pallin's last child, a baby with Down's syndrome, may not be hers. It may be that of her teenage daughter.

"This shouldn't be part of our politics," he continued, "It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.
He waited until asked the question instead of issuing a statement reaffirming his stance. And you know well that if it makes it through a complete news cycle that it becomes a meme.
The Democratic presidential nominee said, "There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us. I hope I am as clear as can be so in case Im not, let me repeat: We don't go after people's families, we don't get them involved in the politics. It's not appropriate and it's not relevant."
Concluded Obama before getting on his campaign bus headed to Milwaukee, Wisc., "Our people were not involved in any way in this and they will not be. And if I ever thought that it was somebody in my campaign that was involved in something like that, they'd be fired."

P.S.
Highlighted the part you didn't read. You say there will be no evidence to put Obama's people inside these attacks. Let us see if this turns out to be true. So far he doesn't have a very good track record with regard to honesty and forthrightness.
The Obama campaign was not prepared for the Palin announcement, a choice that was unexpected but not totally off the radar. Thats not good in politics but its very discouraging in governing. In fact, it makes the Obama campaign sound as clueless as it often describes the Bush Administration.

The respected Israeli newspaper Ha'artez today repeated an Israeli Army Radio report that Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, told "senior Israeli officials behind closed doors that the Jewish state will have to reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran."
"Israel will have to reconcile itself with the nuclearization of Iran," Army Radio said that Biden told the unnamed officials. "It's doubtful if the economic sanctions will be effective, and I am against opening an additional military and diplomatic front."
