Bristol Palin Faking Pregnancy for Mother?

According to rumors circulating on the internet, the recent revelation that Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin's unmarried 17-year-old daughter Bristol Palin is pregnant is just a clever ploy hiding the truth about Alaskan Governor Palin's own pregnancy. The website Pollhalljunkies.com is reporting that Bristol Palin's pregnancy may just be an elaborate hoax conspired by the McCain Palin ticket to woo two critical blocks of voters: anti-abortion conservatives and those alienated moderate women who might've supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

"It only makes sense that Hillary voters would be attracted to philandering infidelity," wrote one Mississippian on the pollhalljunkies blog. "After all, Hillary herself is married to a philanderer."

"I can understand Sarah Palin hiding her sixth pregnancy. She probably doesn't want people to assume she's Catholic." writes another supporter.

This latest rumor follows a similar rumor, since refuted by the McCain-Palin campaign, that Sarah Palin faked her last pregnancy in April to cover up for Bristol's. Critics wondered why she hid that pregnancy for seven months before coming clean to her constituents. Many also were asking why she took an eight hour plane trip back to Alaska after her water broke in Texas without notifying any of the airline staff to her eleventh hour of pregnancy instead of rushing to the nearest hospital. But such questions can be reasonably answered if one considers the subpar condition of the hospitals in Texas. Supporters have said that for this reason alone, she ought to be considered the real Maverick of the Republican ticket. If the rumors about Trig being Sarah's grandson are true, daughter Bristol owes her mom "big time," as those of her generation might say. And this, contends the speculators, may be her way of paying mom back and keeping her allowance intact.
