I really don’t know. Ordinarily I wouldn’t pay it any mind. I expected she would be picked apart for her short time in politics, etc. and that she was put there to get Hillary voters. I was for her a month or more ago because I thought she offered a fresh face on the ticket that would be very appealing. When one looked at all the rest they tended toward the boring or unacceptable. I doubted she would get picked and constantly checked Intrade to see if there were any leading indicators. The first time I began to think it was her was when someone here posted the flight plan and it all made sense. This was probably nine hours before the national media learned of it.

I never expected this and when I first saw the headlines I really didn’t read it as I thought it was garbage. But then when I actually looked at what was being said I started googling up what I could find and then began to become concerned. I am a worrier by nature. I take nothing for granted. I sort of hold my breath until something becomes reality. I hope this goes away so the McCain campaign can strongly contest the election.

What I do know is that in national elections, the hatchet men and women will do anything and everything to win. There is nothing off limits. McCain needs to be able to go after Obama hammer and tong until he hits paydirt and if Obama starts to stammer and yammer especially in the debates then Obama’s balloon will start to deflate. And let us hope that Palin knows the subjects well so she can go after Biden as well. Her job will be to portray herself as ready to assume the presidency. That’s a tall order even for the most skilled candidate.

Richard,

I’m with you...I’m a worrier by nature and this worries me. This rumor has legs. I’ve yet to see ANY pictures of an obviously-pregnant Governor Palin - the pix posted by some claiming they are proof of her pregnancy are either fuzzy or show her in loose clothes...nothing I’ve seen so far seems to show an obvious pregnant belly. Contrarily, there ARE some pictures of Palin pregnant with Track floating around, and she is HUGE, and clearly pregnant. She announced her pregnancy to her staff at 7 months, and they were all shocked because she didn’t look at all pregnant, according to an article I read in an Anchorage newspaper. This is concerning. If it turns out that Bristol was removed from school for 4-8 months during this same time frame, as has been reported in the blogs, you can bet this rumor will take off as fast if not faster than the fake Bush/Killian memos we uncovered back in 2004.
