Palin's Medical Records

Palin -- the only one of the top four candidates who has not released her medical documents yet -- replied: "The medical records, so be it. If that will allow some curiosity seekers perhaps to have one more thing that they either check the box off that they can find something to criticize or to rest them assured over. I'm healthy, happy, I've had five kids, that's going to be in the medical records. Never seriously ill or hurt, you'll see that in the medical records if they're released."

But the "if" in Palin's last sentence suggests that the Alaska governor was speaking in the hypothetical, and two of her aides did not reply to The Trail's request for a clarification.
Sarah will not release her medical records. It would show Sarah's last child was Piper and the secret would be out that her daughter is the Mother of Tach. Yes Bristol is already a Mother and having another child. Sarah like any Mother kept the secret for her VP campaign. Sarah didn't know Bristol was having another child until she was picked VP. Now Sarah does know McCain's medical history and it's filled with many medical issues of the past that could reoccur.

Another concern for the GOP is the handling of Palin's non-pregnancy, including questions of the father of Trig. If Sarah is not the mother, then who is the father?

The statistics on down syndrome have known causes which could further complicate revealing Palin's medical records. This would lead to possible paternity testing of Levi Johnson, with the shadow of doubt on Palin family ethics. More concerning is that the paternity questioning may include medical records of Palin male family members. All of which is something the GOP sees as a definite request.

Considering the few days left until the election, the GOP strategy is to divert and re-direct attacks to Obama terriorist connections. Saturate the battleground states with campaigning, robocalls, emails, door-to-door contacts, and issue a statement to the press on the release of Palin's medical records.

If the GOP wins the election, they will have everything in place to move forward. If they do not win the election, the GOP feels the public will no longer be concerned about Sarah Palin and will leave this for Palin to manage.

Most had learned that Ms. Palin was pregnant only a few weeks before. Ms. Palin had concealed the news that she was expecting even from her parents and children until her third trimester.

The governor, who recently turned 44, told a handful of reporters as she was leaving work to expect a new member of the first family, then headed to a reception at the Baranof Hotel to feast on king crab.

Palin said she's already about seven months along, with the baby due to arrive in mid-May.

That the pregnancy is so advanced astonished all who heard the news. The governor, a runner who's always been trim, simply doesn't look pregnant.

Even close members of her staff said they only learned this week their boss was expecting.

"I thought it was becoming obvious," Palin said. "You know, clothes getting snugger and snugger."

But people just couldn't believe the news.

"Really? No!" said Bethel state Rep. Mary Nelson, who is close to giving birth herself.

"It's wonderful. She's very well-disguised," said Senate President Lyda Green, a mother of three who has sometimes sparred with Palin politically. "When I was five months pregnant, there was absolutely no question that I was with child."

Palin's baby was born on a Monday and she returned to the office on Tuesday.
