JUNEAU — Gov. Sarah Palin shocked and awed just about everybody around the Capitol on Wednesday when she announced she’s expecting her fifth child.

“I thought it was becoming obvious,” Gov. Sarah Palin said. “You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger.”

The governor, who recently turned 44, told a handful of reporters as she was leaving work to expect a new member of the first family, then headed to a reception at the Baranof Hotel to feast on king crab.

Palin said she’s already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May.

That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who’s always been trim, simply doesn’t look pregnant.

Even close members of her staff said they only learned this week their boss was expecting.

“I thought it was becoming obvious,” Palin said. “You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger.”

Good points. I keep having the feeling that the Rs know it is a kamikaze mission. And McSame is such a misogynist, it is really hard to think he picked her on his own. On another thread Blub said it was a deal with the fundies and so far that is the only explanation that rings true to me.

This is what happens when you don’t put the name out there and get a feel on how the public thinks about a candiate. I think picking her was to bring in campaign dollars and their main objective to “make history” like we did. They do NOT understand the difference between our voters choosing Obama and Clinton. Palin wasn’t chosen by the voters. And they didn’t understand how important making history was till it was too late.

Yes, I also have a feeling they might withdraw her name like they did with Myers. Mccain wasted 3 months before he chose a VP. He did that because he is a follower, he waited till after he knew who Obama’s running mate was. By doing so wasted 3 months that he could have been getting the public aquainted with his VP pic. Stupid move.

Palin. What we they thinking?

Never a double standard here in “progressiville” is there?

speaking of McSame’s anger issues not to mention his misogyny, I wonder how long till he disses her in public.
