I disagree on some points:

Miss Palin may not have had a choice in her introduction to the spotlight, but she has certainly embraced it. She stated in an interview she would like to continue in TV after the show. In addition there have been threads stating she is looking to get her son into the modeling business.

I think the message she is sending to 13, 14, 15 and 16 year old young girls is misleading. They see a single young mom living in her own apartment answering to no one, going on the Today Show, giving interviews, Photographed for magazine covers and a participant in DWTS. It is said that 75% of single moms end up on welfare within 5 years of giving birth. That is their world, not giving interviews, appearing on TV and magazine covers.

Miss Palin's and her mother need to acknowledge that if people disagree with your opinion or do not like your show, or feel you did not deserve to be in the final three, does not make them haters. They are just individuals with a different point of view. A footnote to her partner - he said if this was the Olympics they would have been on the podium with the other two; if this were the Olympics you would not have been in the final three.
