Levi Johnston And Track Palin Join Family In St. Paul (VIDEO)

Hours ahead of Sarah Palin's big speech at the RNC, the Palin family met the McCain family as they arrived at the airport. Visible in the live shots on MSNBC taken at the airport appear to be two new campaign faces: Palin's older son Track, who is in the Army and is likely the gentleman with close-cropped hair, and daughter Bristol's boyfriend Levi Johnston, with whom she expects a child later this year. The pair were holding hands on the tarmac. Also getting off the plane for the family affair were McCain's kids Bridget and Meghan.

Here is video:

A few weeks ago our entire nation celebrated at the possibilty we could make a huge historic shift and cultural leap...electing Obama as the enactor of new policies and positive change.
Now, our culture and populace have been reduced to bad soap opera narratives­...stories so base, sad, and distracting that one would not even know the severity of the challenges facing this nation and our globe at this very moment.
Please, let us wake up, brew a new pot of coffee...get out of TV Guide and GreenAcres...and realize that WE are responsible for creating this country anew. If Americans are lulled to sleep by not seeing
that Karl Rove is winning this battle to blind Americans...we will watch our world fall apart in the next four years.

The Republicans will use anything (one) as a prop.

Yep, mouthy little Sarah sure dished it out at the convention, and now she's hiding behind the skirts of the GOP and won't do an interview. Like a mouthy little bully that runs home to mommy when someone stands up to her.

The kids? Just part of the tactics of distraction. Props for an empty pantsuit and a testament to failed parenthood "philosophy". Sarah Palin started this little fight, too bad she hasn't the balls or substance to back up all those BIG words!

I wonder what's going to happen when McCain get tired of her stealing his limelight? Hmmmm........

[Oldbuck]

These kid are normal and do not deserve what the young lady mother is putting them through just to advance her career. Had they not paraded them out with McCain making such a big deal about shaking there hands. I realize that as a Democratic I might be bias in most blogging and my daughter is grown now. But I have never put anything ahead of her in my life and don't understand people who tell us what a right to lifer she is and believes in abstinence and Mrs Perfect soccer mom. To me this is exploiting your children not because they were at the convention but because of the grandstand of mom and McCain. I really believe when people set back and study what happen they will reject this be they Republican or Democratic

[bobbuck]

But where were Levi's best friends, Numb Nutts and Stella?

[layman]

This is what an average American family look like ???????

[YouDisgustMe]

lol those poor kids look like they were forced to hold each other's hands

sigh....levi & bristol....a love story born in jerryspringerland

[heal57]

A shot gun wedding only is she wins the VP nomination with Mr Mc as Pres. It won't happen. No wedding...­..........­..........­let's get real.

[layman]

For sure, not your friendly neighborhood Brady Bunch.

[lw1899]

Yep, I noticed that Bristol and Levi ALWAYS held hands, even at the convention. It just looked forced and seemed as if they were coached into doing it for effect. Those handlers super-glued their hands together. I suspect more of the same as we see more of them.

[Pat15]

The hypocracy from the Repugs is unbelivable but then the evangicals live in this type of world... Just like the charltons & hypocrite Pastors like Dobson, Ted Haggard, Roberston, Brother Paul, Haggie & many others ... These bible thumpers are snake oil salesmen whose only motive is to live the high life ...Amazing in this era these evangicals buy into it ...Amen

[TwoPartiesNoChoice]

Why did these people name their son Track?

[confuseddemocrat]

Trust me, the names of her kids resonate with certain populations in the U.S.

[YouDisgustMe]

lol

[YouDisgustMe]

i was sitting here thinking the exact same thing

[Kerris]

Oh, I read this answer somewhere -- it's because of both her husband and her sports background. He literally is named after a running track (if I could roll my eyes online, I would).

But we need to let up on Trig. It is a genuine Norse name that means something like bravery or victory.

And we can't really knock Willow, can we? I mean the Soranos had a Willow! I'm not going to mess with Carmella and Tony Soprano on names.... and frankly, the Palins scare me just as much. If they can take down a moose, they surely can come gunning for me.

[Brainscab]

Yeah, Trig could also mean 'Trigonometry' hummm

A REPUBLICAN PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENTIAL BLESSING ON PARTICIPANTS OF OUT- OF- WED-LOCK TEENAGE PREGNANCY CEREMONY.

[zaboomafoohotw]

Where in the heck is the outrage that an 18 year old (adult) impregnated a 17 year old minor? WTF - isn't Palin charged with enforcing the laws of her state, and instead of embracing this idiot as a soon-to-be son-in-law, shouldn't she be prosecuting him for statutory rape? What the heck - have Republicans become that flippin' desperate??

[Quaoar]

Age of consent is 16 in Alaska - no laws were broken.

[CaptainVideo]

So now the social conservatives are celebrating teenagers having children out of wedlock. What a bunch of hypocrites!

[CaptainVideo]

The father on facebook said he did not want children. Now he is marrying the girl. This shure stinks of shotgun wedding.

I hope one of those kids gets up the backbone to not let themselves be pressured into this marriage in order to save Palin from embarrasment.

[Rutabaga]

This is just disgusting. They want this to be respected as "private" and "personal." Yet they throw these kids to the wolves and use them as political props. You can't have it both ways.

I feel really sorry for both Bristol and Levi.

[LeawoodKansas]

Can anyone tell me what the criminal laws are in Alaska for having sex with a minor? Is Levi subject to criminal prosecution?

[CindyM2008]

Jerry!
Jerry!
