Per MSNBC, Palin's daughter is 5 months pregnant NOW

The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah
Palin is pregnant, Palin said Monday in an announcement intended to
knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy
to cover up for her child.


Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her
husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the
child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by
the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.


Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain
aides said.
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all
our heart and mean everything to us," the Palins' statement said.


"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we
knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol
faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our
unconditional love and support," the Palins said. The Palins asked the
news media to respect the young couple's privacy.


"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very
quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have
the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our
daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children
of candidates," the statement concluded.

Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's
pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential
running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old
governor in any way.


In the short period since she was announced last Friday, Palin has
helped to energize the Republican Party's conservative base, giving the
McCain camp fresh energy going into the campaign for the Nov. 4 election
against Democrat Barack Obama.


McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being
released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies"
circulating on liberal blog sites.


According to these rumors, Sarah Palin had faked a pregnancy and
pretended to have given birth in May 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 was the grandmother.


A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that
these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites and
partisan Democrats, but also were the subject of heightened interest
from mainstream news media.

"The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even
with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic
ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes
themselves against their 'campaign of change,"' a senior aide said.
