    @ NotOrbitBoy

    I don't know if Trig is Sarah's baby or Bristol's. The rumors have been refuted in a less-than-convincing fashion and it is startling the way the governor took her daughter's very private situation public.

    I do know that Sarah Palin's behavior and appearance in the short-time preceding the birth are difficult to explain. We need more information if she plans to run for national office. We don't need this type of bizarre soap opera in the highest offices in the land. And it does matter that Senator McCain took such a cavalier approach to the vetting process. It is becoming increasingly clear that he can not be trusted to take important decisions seriously.

    The McCain campaign failed to vet her properly so that is taking place in distributed fashion on the Internet and in public. I agree with you that it's an ugly process.
