Like a boomerang, Palin's stance on sex ed coming back to smack her

When she ran for governor of Alaska in 2006, Sarah Palin was asked if she would support abstinence-before-marriage programs over sex education, school clinics and contraceptive distribution. She was firm in her answer: "Explicit sex ed programs will not find my support."

But that response came back today to haunt her - and presidential campaign of GOP candidate John McCain - with the news that Palin's unmarried, 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant.

-----

The latest news could exacerbate doubts in voters' minds about Palin - doubts refected in a focus group of undecided voters this week organized by GOP pollster Frank Luntz. The group of 25 Midwestern voters, by a 2-1 margin, said they had deep concerns about Palin's experience.

-----

Whalen said the strongly pro-life Palin "will be pounded in some circles" for her support of abstinence education - and in her own situation, "people will glady point out the irony."

But he said, "the problem would be even greater if there were hypocrisy involved ... if she were sneaking her daughter off to get an abortion."

How will this play with "undecided" voters?
