Actually, they tried what they could to try to conceal the pregnancy. They shunted the daughter off once she started to show, and during the VP announcement, she was holding Palin's baby and covering herself up with the drool blanket across her entire front:

Despite the public pronouncements on the issue I am still suspecting that the phrase "pregnant unwed teenage daughter" never came up in the vetting process.

For me her personal family issues are nothing more than a highlight to the much more important issue of her views on sex education.

As I mentioned, I find it highly unlikely that the Trig rumor was birthed, so to speak, entirely separately from the truth about Bristol. What's most likely is that her camp was either working to hide Bristol's pregnancy, or at least hide it long enough to announce it under their own terms. Someone without any real details got clued into something fishy going on, saw some email or other about Bristol and a pregnancy, and jumped to a conclusion. That seems to me the most likely scenario.

I've heard a rumor that Trig is actually half vampire.

PS: Does it piss off anyone else that Palin is going around talking about how she chose to "keep her baby" after she found out the child would have Down Syndrome, when they didn't find out until she was in the second trimester and thus too late to have an abortion?!?!?

Same thing with the daughter. She's also in her second trimester.

I found that statement ironic also! Plus if she doesn't believe in abortion what else was she going to do, give it up for adoption just because it is special needs?!

Depends on what Alaska's laws are. What's mildly ironic is that Palin claims to be proud of the decision her daughter made when she would take that decision away. Theoretically, of course. The children of governors will probably always be able to make decisions.

They should have just hired a double.

You'd think that would be one lesson we'd learn from the Chinese at the Olympics
