But what about the fact that, as governor, Sarah Palin cut funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers?

I don't think that's true. I just started to read this morning that that's a false assertion, so I'm not even going to speculate on an answer . . .

But it's been proved true . . .

Look, Sarah Palin and her husband are trying to raise a Christian family, trying to extend their values to their kids. Her daughter made a mistake. I got pregnant when I was 19. I got married when I was 4 1/2 months pregnant. And here's another thing: You have to really respect McCain. I wasn't really excited about him until he made this choice. He took a gamble -- and not just with picking a conservative from Alaska. The gamble was knowing, ahead of time, that Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter was pregnant.

How about Palin's speech last night?

Magnificent. It was just magnificent.

-- Jose Antonio Vargas
