Kids are just political chits......
From the British TimesOnline, so judge it for yourself, but.....
After all the gambits, I find it hard to believe the press would take this literally (or kindly.)
(The Times is known for its links to hardcore Republican operatives, so what you may be seeing is a very quiet, planted in the foreign press, trial balloon.)
In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.
Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”

Wouldn't turning Li'l Bristol's nuptials into a media circus make the Palins celebrities? Only the elite (like Charles and Diana) have the media cover their weddings. I don't see this happening, not after all the fuss they made about keeping their families out of it.

That's kinda what I'm saying.
Plus, I think the media would cover it as a stunt after all the other stunts.
