My Predictions

Will Palin consent to DNA tests by 11/04 to prove that Trig really is her son, not her daughter's?

Settled as No

According to some rumors, Sarah Palin faked her own pregnancy and pretended to have given birth in April to her fifth child, a son named Trig who has Down Syndrome. The rumor was that Trig was actually Bristol Palin's child and that Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy to cover up her daughter's unplanned pregnancy. Pictures of a too-slim Sarah and a chubby Bristol have been circulated to support this rumor.

Hmmmm ... no questions about "faked birth certificates" yet.

Trig is not running for president. He does not need to release his birth certificate. B. HO, on the other hand, is a different story.

Pick up a H$ or two here--do you really think there's any chance at all of this happening in the last day of the campaign?
