An official announcement by their campaign... and a transparently theatrical one.

Nobody was really interested in the fact that her daughter might be pregnant.

People were sniffing around about whether she might have posed as a mother... but the current pregnancy? Hardly any reaction / notice.

They threw this out at the same time the wires started picking up the story of her huge Bridge to Nowhere lie.

Seriously... does anyone think the timing was coincidental?

1. Nobody else thinks it's an attempt to distract?

2. I think it's a distraction, and the real reason that the RNC was postponed

3. A 1/4 BILLION dollar bridge to 50 people is a good indicator of the kind of wasteful gov't spending

that Palin is in favor of. She reflects McFail well, and is unfit to lead, just as he is.

6. Who are the people who wanted to develop that land where the bridge would go?

And how are they connected to Palin? That's what I'd like to know.

7. I read it was $100 million... either way she backed it 100%,

and then lied about it in her introductory speech.

4. Politifact on the bridge to nowhere issue

8. They're not so hot on accuracy at that site, huh?

Jesus.

5. My mom just said they released the news now so people focusing

on Gustav won't notice.
