According to CNN, the pregnancy story came out when they found out they were in Anchorage investigating the story. I say she doesn’t last the week.

Remember, it is PALIN that has sought to reveal her daughters current “five month” pregnancy as a foil to deflect the rumors swirling about her own.

Palin has already detailed many aspects of her pregnancy…her being told that the tests (amniocentesis?) showed that her child would have Trisomy-21, the miraculous “breaking of water” and airflights back to Alaska, and then the journey to Wasilla to give birth prematurely. So she isn’t averse to revealing VERBALLY all sorts of statements about her pregnancy. Why didn’t she simply release her medical records about her pregnancy. The tests, the check-ups, and the birth certificate? It would have laid all this to rest without embroiling her daughter in the issue further.

But she CHOSE to reveal her daughters pregnancy in order to establish her own motherhood. How odd!

I mentioned earlier that even Fox has lost confidence in her. Shep Smith correcting himself when he referred to her as the candidate. He said at least until she goes before the convention, at least.

At any point after that the campaign takes an even bigger and potentially game-ending hit.</p> I think she almost HAS to withdraw prior to being formally nominated, i.e. within a couple days.
