A word from a reader: People seem to miss what I think is the real issue with the Sarah Palin debate/scandal. Judgment and sensibility are my concerns and people who will be given the power of president and vice president should have these qualities. The issue is not how the media is handling this or about this child being pregnant. The real issue is that a family and a presidential candidate would choose to put a 17 year old child in a position to be raked over the coals by the media and the country. John McCain should never have had the poor judgment to put the family in this position and Sarah Palin should have had the good sense to turn the offer down to save her daughter from the media blitz that was sure to happen. They should both be ashamed and ask the country to forgive them for having such poor judgment. Andrew Eaton Nashville
