It were Barack Obamas child? Would the Republicans still grant their family "good wishes" and let it pass?
Steve Schmidt, the chief strategist for the McCain campaign, was surrounded by reporters and cameras as he walked through the media center next door to the Xcel Center in St. Paul, where the convention is taking place. Asked over and over when and how Mr. McCain found out about Bristol’s pregnancy, he repeated, “Senator McCain was aware†of it and called it “a private family matter.†He would not say when Mr. McCain found out or how, calling it a “private conversation.â€ÂÂ
“The fact is, John McCain had a thorough search and made the decision to add Sarah Palin to the ticket because he believes†that she “will change America,†Mr. Schmidt said.
He said how big this becomes would depend on the media. “I think the American people will see this news and they’d have good wishes for the young lady and they’ll respect the privacy of the family,†he said.
