Jed would never do such a thing, but clearly Sorkin would.

I don't know if Jed would attack her, but I definitely think he'd point out that if Obama were in the same position, he wouldn't be in this race anymore because of the stigma associated with black teenage unwed mothers.

OK, you're right there. I missed that bit on my re-read. I was just referring to who was 17 and pregnant and unmarried and the father was a teenager hoping to launch a rap career with "Thug Life" inked across his chest, you'd come in fifth behind Bob Barr, Ralph Nader and a ficus.

Now your comment makes more sense, and I do agree on that bit.
