Us Weekly: Babies, Lies & Scandals

Well, this isn't going to help McCain pull in those women.

"Within hours of McCain’s surprise introduction of the little-known, charismatic mother of five as his running mate, the scandals began to emerge as quickly as flies at a Labor Day picnic.

“While putting to rest one scandal, Palin appeared to have opened another of even greater significance. Staunchly antiabortion (even in cases of rape) and opposed to sex-education classes (she believes in abstinence instruction for teens), questions began to arise about not just her judgment, but that of McCain’s as well.”

Us Weekly reaches 12 million women weekly, many of which are probably fairly far removed from day-to-day political discussions. It should be noted that the magazine's owner is the openly gay Jann Wenner, a huge Obama supporter.
