I'd have had Food, Wine and Reading - fortunately they are unisex names.

I think Mccain has made a mistake though with her as his VP.
I can see some voters preferring to vote for a 2 man ticket for the White house, whereas Mccain is getting on a bit, and so his VP candidate has a chance at the big job
Do worry, the democrats probably should have gone for hilary
Ps op, I thought that about the names when I read the paper yesterday
She'd have been flamed if she had posted them here
and yes, perhaps that is why xenia has been a bit quiet lately, planning her campaign

guardian reported that her fave food was moose stew

DarrellRivers · 31/08/2008 12:53

in fact she could start some fabulous posts here on mumsnet

My Dd is Willow. It's a lovely name! I wouldn't have gone for Trig though

LaVieEnRose · 31/08/2008 13:06

OMFG, where do these people come from? Do the republicans breed in captivity just so they have the right balance of bigotry and intolerance with an added dash of looney tunes?!

This is why I love following the US elections. They are like car crash tv, I try to look away but can't! Unbelievable!

fishie · 31/08/2008 13:16

KM i care
we need a democratic president in the White House to balance those preceding Bush years.
I worry that the ordinary American will not vote for Obama

WendyWeber · 31/08/2008 14:06

John McCain has some scary tendencies himself

Yes , I read that yesterday WW, the anger thing worries me.
but his spell as a POW really gives him appeal to the American on the street

MatNanPlus · 31/08/2008 20:09

Trig meaning strength given he has downs is fitting i guess.

BIG age gaps tho!

Shoshe · 31/08/2008 20:17

There are reports that Trig is in fact her Grandson!

Hulababy · 31/08/2008 20:20

I like the name Willow. Don't like the rest.

toocool · 31/08/2008 20:30

The 16 year old does look like she has a baby bump in those pics.

And 3 days post birth back in work? I don't think so.

policywonk · 31/08/2008 20:37

Tis odd isn't it. With those names, you'd expect a hippy. Instead, she's the scariest fucking person alive.

tiggerlovestobounce · 31/08/2008 20:38

Those picturs in the Daily Kos article appear convincing (if they are unaltered).
The details of the day the baby was born make her look fairly irresponsible too (if it was her baby).
If that isnt her baby it is not going to be good for the republican campaign.

MatNanPlus · 31/08/2008 21:24

It is suss, a 5th time pregnant mum showing no signs of a bump, returning to work so quickly even tho her new son has needs she hasn't dealt with before, poor feeding being a possible.

Why not tell the truth, she is against abortion but for contraception so why come out and say well i am soon to be a proud grandmother.

The age of consent is 16 and in Aug Bristol is listed as 17 so not illegal and she spent many months away from school.

WendyWeber · 31/08/2008 21:46

I watched the hike-to-work video - that was 2 months before the baby was born - she certainly doesn't look like a 44-year-old who is 7 months pg in that.

The circumstances of the eldest daughter missing school for so many months at just the right time are very suspicious - OK, glandular fever can knock you back for quite a long time, but for a 16-17 year old to be off school for up to 8 months???

And the circumstances of her flying back to Alaska after her waters broke in Texas (allegedly) are mad.

OTOH she is obviously very physically fit, and some women hardly show at all.

Jury still out here
