Guam Governor commiserates with Palin

By Britten Chase, PolitickerOR.com Reporter

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- As he addressed the Oregon delegation, Guam Gov. Felix Camacho told a story of a man on his island that sounded eerily familiar.

He told them of a man on his island. Camacho said the man heard from some people that his daughter had some bad news to tell him. When he went to his daughter, he asked what was wrong, and asked her to be honest. She told him that she was pregnant. He asked her what she intended to do, and she said she would have the baby, she would go off to school, and they would figure something out.
