The Daily Kos is really taking it as a fact that Palin’s son is actually her teenage daughter’s son, based on the fact that her daughter was absent from school for 5-8 months before the birth and that Palin announced her pregnancy 7 months after conception:

We shouldn’t sleep on this story. Look at the Edwards’ scandal story. I didn’t believe it. Very few believed it, and look what happened. I know Daily Kos is a kooky left-wing site, but the National Enquirer did not have exactly a good reputation either. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
all evidence to the contrary, the DUmp is beginning to take it as fact also..
A teenage girl giving birth to a Down syndrome baby? I've literally never heard of it happening. It's most typically women in their mid-forties. The standard theory as to why this is the case is that spontaneous abortion doesn't occur as readily late in life. In effect, the body figures this might be the last chance, and isn't as picky over which xygotes it allows to develop.
“Daily Kos,” whatever his stupid name is, is a psychopath. What does he think this is, 1922? Every sensible, pro-life family is prepared to deal with a daughter’s unexpected pregnancy. Can she marry the father with any chance of its working out well? Will the child be placed for adoption? Is our family in a position to bring up a grandchild?
Having a 44-year-old lady pretend she’s pregnant just isn’t on the radar for anyone but crazies.
Its a BS story from the get go, Kos and DU are nuts as usual. Its extremely unlikely for a teenager to have a Downs syndrome baby. Also, how in the eff could Sarah Palin get away with it with her contstant exposure to the public? Its not like pregnancy in the late stages is easy to hide so countless people are going to go....hey...I don’t remember her showing pregnancy what is she doing claiming she had the baby. Then the doctors and hospital staff would have to be in on it, all the record keepers.....
The story is so ridiculous they might as well claim its a UFO baby, that would have about as much credibility. Let the psychotic run with it.....into a wall.
I DO hope McCain’s people asked if she had any skeletons in her closet. And that she answered truthfully.
But I know what you mean.
I seriously doubt the allegation, but I would like to know if it’s true that her daughter missed several months of school, and why.
