Whomever is doing background checks and spin control for the McCain campaign need to be fired.

I think you're right that this won't hurt CC/right -wing voter' view of McCain/Palin, but the huge pile of potential abuse-of-office-related charges already mounting could sway the undecideds.

It doesn't have to be abuse of office. A family doctor might do the same such thing for any of her/his patients, this one (speculatively) just happens to be the governor and her daughter. The tax fraud suits seem a bit more feasible.

BTW, thanks for the add. I'm tyrsalvia's partner; she suggested I would enjoy following you (in case you didn't grok that already). :)

I had figured it out, and I remember meeting you at the Fire Arts Fest. :} I haven't been posting much of late... but I may become more content filled when my life gets a routine again.

Do you have a link on the tax fraud assertions? I haven't seen reference to that....

It wasn't a news article, it was a blog post that mentioned claiming the child as dependant without due process (adoption) would be tax fraud. But I suspect that the birth certificate says the child is hers, so it doesn't apply unless the child is positively identified as no hers.

If the rumour is true and Trig Palin (and how cruel to name someone with Down's Syndrome after a complex branch of mathematics) isn't Sarah Palin's child, the tax credit that's she's almost certainly claiming on Trig would possibly be fraudulent.
