I think this was a "Rovian" masterstroke. The McCain camp knew they had to flush the pregnant daughter story out into the mainstream, so they float a blatantly false rumor to the lefties about something worse - Mom faking a childbirth to hide daughter's sin. The lefty wackadoos run with it as expected; then, to quell the "rumor", admit to the lesser offense of the unmarried daughter being with child and having the baby.

You get a potentially damaging bit of news out there while discrediting your opponents and minimizing the damage. Brilliant.

No, this is being stoked by the Obama camp.
If you notice his response today, he made a weak statement about the “press” laying off the Palin family, and completely ignoring the source of the vicious lies - his own campaign and supporters.

He specifically left them out and only called out the press.

What a weasel.
