Palin's daughter is pregnant

But not in a DKos/Andrew Sullivan Rovian conspiracy way....in the actual factual way:

The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.

[...]

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support," the Palins said.

[...]

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates," the statement concluded.

This is about as close to "real family" as one could get.  All families--even the evil conservative ones--worry about this happening.  I wish them the best.  They'll be growing up quickly.  Luckily for Bristol and Levi, there aren't too many paparazzi in Wasilla. 

Exit question: How will the conspiracy theory be altered to address this new information?
