They may have to put off the convention (and blame Gustav) while they sort out this scandalous rumor:

Sarah Palin's 5th child is actually her oldest daughter's

Don't know if it has an ounce of truth, but that won't stop the speculating.

Quote:

This pregnancy scandal is hitting the internet, and supposedly people “in the know” from Alaska are stating it is true, and that Sarah Palin hid her daughter’s pregnancy. And that the child, Trig Palin, might actually belong to her daughter, Bristol.

But could this just be a smear campaign?

I am not sure about the insurance fraud implications, but the juicy-ness of it alone make for excellent conjecture. And who is the dad I wonder? Inuit? Maybe not so Down's Syndrome after all... Or worst yet - a Chinatown scenario! "He's my brother" He's my son!.."

But then again, this is just my demented brain talking.

Hey, now- back off, mister. Astrology served the Reagan's very well during their tenure.;)

So supposedly her whole pregnancy as governor was faked? That would be a trick.

If not true (and I'm suspecting it isn't), it's rather despicable.

What if it were true?

I find it a bit unbelievable, but it is odd that she didn't announce it until she was nearly due, and that no one noticed. Oh, well- true or not, it's not the sort of thing one can hide for long. I'm more interested in the fact that she's in the midst of a scandal that could get her impeached, yet she's chosen to run as VP?:confused:

I didn't mean that as a response to you specifically, but as a general thought on one of the supposed rationales for the pick. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

And I expect that Palin won't draw any measurable amount of women to the Republican ticket, at least not when you also consider those she will drive away. But we'll find out soon enough if that's the case.

I think it is primarily that this is the news of the day. In another two months when it comes time to vote I think there'll be very few people who claim the VPs had much impact on their decision.

If your professor said that, then he was wrong.

I've already read that people who don't have the means to leave are staying. I hope the local authorities do step up this time, and offer everyone who needs one, a ride out of harm's way.

Not the hurricane thread, I know, but I wanted to comment.

Hurricane, John McCain. Hmmm.
