This doesn't change the basic story, but as a stickler for facts I'd like it if you double-checked yours. Palin announced her pregnancy at 7 months. She flew to the conference in Austin when he was (allegedly) at 8 months. While she was there, her water (allegedly) broke, and she flew for 9 hours, 15 minutes back to Anchorage, with a plane change in Seattle -- without telling anyone, because the airline never would have let her board -- and (allegedly) gave birth to a 6 pound, 2 ounce preemie.
Three days later, this 44-year-old woman was back at work, none the worse for the wear. I'm not believing it. I'd like to see the birth certificate.
She Was 8 Months Preg, Not 7 Months
