Levi Johnston Speaks Out

Levi Johnston has spoken out about rumors concerning him and Bristol Palin, the daughter of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Alaskan born Johnston told reporters that he always had planned on getting married to 17 year old Bristol, even before finding out
she was pregnant. He stated they'd been dating since Bristol was a freshman in high school and he had her name tattooed on his ring finger
after he lost a "promise ring" that she had given him, since he would just lose them anyway.

He also stated that he was happy about the child that's due in mid December and has plans "to take him everywhere."

He denied having anything to do with a MySpace profile that said he was a "redneck" and didn't want kids.

Ahead of the baby's birth, Johnston dropped out of high school and took a job as an apprentice electrician on the North Slope oil fields, so
he's getting ready to be a family man.
