Its the kind of secret that i can't imagine escaping more notice between now and four months ago. It seems like if McCain had any wind of it he wouldn't risk the scandal. (I think if the baby were her daughter's, and she openly admitted that, she'd be in a lot better state right now. Actually, it would make people feel better about her being at work with a four month old, if it were her grandson. But with the lie, its hard for me to believe that this gets through vetting and decisions making...)
If it is true the appearance of some of the 'evidence' makes these people seem far stupide than they are by ther counts. If your daughter was pregnant, and you were hiding that fact, wouldn't you arrange your pictures so that she was the one standing behind her sisters, hiding her belly? The idea that they were release a picture showing that belly IF they were trying to hide it just seems... dumb.
I'd also like to note that when i was a full eight months pregnant people wouldn't necessarily have believed it. In some outfits i think it was obvious, but in some clothes (like my cmu sweatshirt) people just didn't know. I know that she and i are a lot different and at different places in our lives, but, i think its dangerous to assume something about someone just because they experience something different than what is 'normal', or what you did.
On the other hand, i know that people do this type of thing not as infrequently as we might imagine, and i can't say that i'm not secretly wishing for a scandal in that campaign...
