I hate to have the whole pregnancy thing even be an issue, but it seems there are two possibilities:
1. Her labor started early (at least a month, possibly only a few weeks) when her water broke while she was in Texas. She got on an airplane back to Alaska (supposedly a normal commercial flight) where she had the baby.
She got on an airplane after her water broke. For a long flight. With a high risk, possibly premature baby. Doesn't sound like good judgement.
2. It was actually a ruse to cover the 16 year old's pregnancy. Again, questionable judgement.
The thing is, if her daughter had been pregnant and they'd handled it in a reasonable and non-deceptive manner, it would have increased my opinion of her. Not enough for me to vote for McCain, but it wouldn't have frightened me like the other two options do.
My hope is that the whole Texas story is misreported/rumor.
I do admit that, as someone who doesn't show much and probably could have flown to Alaska successfully, if not comfortably, during labor, I have a problem with all the people saying "That's not how it was for me, so it isn't possible". It's not entirely implausible to me. Just rather lacking in judgement.
