John "Mechanical" McCain pick Alaska governor Sarah Palin a mother of a infant baby and her own 17- year old daughter is pregnant. She has been compared by the Republican Party as having more foreign policy experience than Barack Obama. Now to give you some background history Palin applied for a passport for the first time last year when she went to visit American troops overseas in Iraq and Germany. At the same time Obama traveled internationally when he was in college and saw first hand a developing nation while visitng his father's home country Kenya.
"It's a private family matter. Life happens in families," said Steve Schmidt, chief strategist of the McCain campaign. "If people try to politicize this, the American people will be appalled by it."
The political effect of Palin's announcement will depend on how voters process the news. Speaking to reporters in Michigan, Democratic nominee Barack Obama -- whose mother was 18 when he was born -- reiterated statements that candidates' families should be kept off-limits.
