You need to break that down even further and look at whether it was first time pregnancies. Since my wife and I were considering having a child when she was 36, we researched this heavily. The odds are not as great when the mother-to-be has had previous births.
Evan, I'm gonna revoke your decent-guy status if you keep this up.

Isn't VPILF a bit presumptuous? Shouldn't it be VPCILF or something?

lol, I was thinking the same thing. One of my friends was saying how he's "not gonna feel as guilty about voting for McCain now that he picked that broad to be his VP"

Is it just me or does this seem like a terrible pick? There's the whole experience thing, which is quite important considering McCain would be the oldest president ever elected. And it also seems like it may end up insulting some of the voters he's trying to draw in because it looks like choosing her just to steal female votes.
That said, I really like her on 30 rock.

He's just playing the game. Its a well timed move.

Her pictures remind me of Peggy from King of the Hill.

She has more experience than Obama and she is only running as VP.
Governors do more in one month than a senator does in a year. She probably has more executive experience than all the other candidates.

Not to mention her, what 93% approval rating in Alaska? That's like, 10 times congress... (Although, admittedly, I could probably govern alaska with a approval rating in the 80's)

Not saying that Palin is not competent. But I fundamentally disagree with the argument that just because someone held x position for x amount of years makes them qualified for another position. No, they need to have the specific skills, judgment, and intelligence for that position.
One thing that is disturbing about this pick is that McCain only met with Palin once or twice before picking her as VP. He basically selected the backup leader of the free world based on at most, two meetings. I wouldn't even date a woman exclusively after meeting them only twice. That just doesn't seem like a sound decision on his part.
In the next couple of weeks we'll get to see more of what Palin's about and she can either prove that she truly is the right person for the job or not.

+eleventy, regardless of party
We still have two more months of this "my criticism of you doesn't apply to me because..." stuff. I love our system.

So now there's the rumor that Palin's last child wasn't really hers, but was her grandson. Apparently her 16 year old daughter was 'out with mono' for 5 months that coincided with the last 5 months of the governor's purported pregnancy. There are other anomalies like her staff not noticing she was pregnant when she announced at about 7 months on, and how after her 'water broke' she got on a plane for an 8 hour ride back to Alaska.
Be that as it may, this seems to be something that maybe doesn't really matter. A mother lying to cover up her daughter's pregnancy? Happens. Some would say the daughter's pregnancy would be hypocritical given her stances on family values and what not but not everyone can control what their children do (see Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter). And she didn't have her get an abortion so she didn't break from her values on that.
The only major problem comes if she falsified documents (which I believe is a crime). That would fly directly in the face of the anti-corruption platform she has run on.
Still, there's the fact that if Democrats really go after her on this it will look bad, especially if they're wrong. People will have to be extremely careful about how they criticize her if this turns out to be true. For my money I can't see a whole lot wrong with someone trying to protect their daughter, but lying and possibly breaking the law is a problem. Especially when there's the investigation pending on her involvement in a state trooper firing.
