I’m confident that it will not be the focus of her remarks,” a McCain campaign official told the Herald. “She’s going to the convention to talk about her record and go over what it is that made Sen. Palin hastily canceled an appearance at a pro-life event in St. Gov. Palin is an open book,” said the McCain campaign official. The father of her unborn grandchild, Levi Johnston, will attend the speech with her pregnant daughter Bristol. While Sen. Barack Obama forcefully condemned any criticism of Palin’s daughter, U.S. Rep. ...
