I don't believe the whole "Bristol is Trig's mother" conspiracy theory, but at least I can see how some circumstantial evidence could lead some people to that conclusion.

Edit: The reason they believe it is:

*Bristol was in the hospital for months sick with mono

*Palin was really negligent on the night of Trig's birth (Flew from Dallas to Anchorage to Wasilla after her water broke)

*There are no(few?) pictures showing Palin pregnant.

Now saying that, I don't believe in the conspiracy theory.

Why is he so hooked on this angle? Obsession isn't pretty....

First, it wouldn't matter if they did -- when a conspiracy theory gets to this level of idiocy, no amount of proof matters; they'll just say she faked the records. After all, there's already plenty of proof that she was pregnant (I just added another photo to the post; her daughter can't have had that baby and be pregnant again, without bizarre theories of a C-section very early followed by immediate impregnation that, in fact, isn't possible because women don't start immediately ovulating after pregnancy), and for some reason that's not good enough.

Second, good for her. It's none of his fricking business and has nothing to do with her qualifications. If for some reason she did pretend the baby was hers when it was actually someone else's, that's a personal matter that doesn't touch on her integrity in office.

While most personal matters should be off limits, it doesn't even come close to the Bill Clinton/John Edwards sleeping around stuff -- they were deceiving their wives and the country in a way that put them at risk for blackmail and did or would serve as a major distraction in office. Those actions probably shouldn't be able to be a distraction, but once the Supreme Court decided to let the matter go to court during the president's term, we're stuck with that.

However, even if Palin is lying, it's not a matter that would serve as a distraction, since it's unlikely her daughter would sue her over the matter if it's her daughter's, and if it's someone else's baby, it would be a case of Palin doing so to help someone else; there would be no victim.

So the summary of why not:

1. It's stupid, and you can't let insane bloggers run your life.

2. There's already proof, and people just say the existing proof is faked, so they'll say any documentation is faked.

3. It's no one's business, and is not a matter that reflects badly on Palin (in fact, if true, it would reflect positively on her).
