Was reading some Palin stuff and came across an interesting rumor that the Palin baby is actually her 16yr old daughters - see google search below.
The argument goes like this:
1) none of the pictures of Palin show her to be pregnant until she announced at 7 months,
2) she gave a 30 minute speech and then took an 11hr flight from Texas AFTER her water broke, and
3) her 16yr daughter was absent from school for the 4-5months before the baby was born.
If true, this would probably shake things up a bit...

EDIT Looks like this rumour was BS - reported timeline does not support rumour. However, media reports today confirm that where there is smoke, there is fire - Palin's daughter is 5 mos pregnant and will marry the father. This girl did not choose to be in the media spot light and she likely did not chose to be part of the argument about whether social conservative values help or hurt young women like her. Her mother on the other hand did choose to be in the media spotlight, and has touted her religion, social conservative values and is being leveraged by the McCain team to win over others like her.
