Avoidance

A bit in this post by dday at Hullabaloo stopped me for a minute:

. . . McCain is expected to have a front-row seat at Bristol’s wedding and to benefit from the outpouring of goodwill that it could bring. “What’s the downside?” a source inside the McCain campaign said. “It would be wonderful. I don’t know that there has ever been a pre-election wedding before.”

Um -- I don't think any vice-presidential candidate's daughter (or son) has had to get married quickly before.

(Note: I don't care whether Bristol Palin gets married or not, but given her family background I suppose it's a necessity. In practical terms, it will make it easier to raise the child. I just think it's sad that the McCain campaign is already licking its chops at another chance to deflect attention away from the presidential race by making a spectacle out of Bristol's wedding.)
