Is Palin's Version More Damning?

Geoffrey Dunn revisits the story that, far from dying, is gaining traction:

Hoping to disprove the conspiracy theory when I initiated work on my book--and to put the story to bed once and for all--I interviewed several close associates of Palin's, including her friends and political allies. I was anticipating, perhaps even hoping, that they would tell me conclusively that Trig was her child. I was shocked by the response.

One close friend of Palin's--a widely respected woman who had given birth to several children as well and who had close contact with Palin in Juneau up until the time of Trig's birth--told me that "Palin did not look like she was pregnant. Ever. Even when she had the bulging belly, I never felt that the rest of her body, her face especially, looked like she was pregnant." When I asked her point-blank if she was certain the baby was Palin's, she said, "No. I don't know what to believe."

Me neither. And that is - and always has been - my position. If Rebecca Mansour wants some publicity for her boss, clearing this stuff up would be a great way to reboot a campaign for president. It should be easy-as-pie. As I've said from the get-go: make me look like a fool for even wondering. Please.
