The story broke yesterday and the talk everywhere since has been - VP Candidate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is 5 months' pregnant. She plans to marry the 18-year-old father. When Grant and Amanda read the news this morning, KSL listeners responded via text and instant messaging. KSL's texters wrote:

U guys need to leave palins daughter alone. If u were in her shoes u wouldnt want your daughter publicized like this. Get a clue
