How did so many people in Wasilla know that Bristol was pregnant before she even knew herself?

I found this e-mail over at MSNBC and it just started me reexamining  the whole "Bristol was pregnant before she was pregnant with Tripp" scenario.  Here take a look and tell me what you think.

Flippin unbelievable . Wouldn't you think they ' d be afraid of being proved wrong when they rumor around the building like that ? I wonder if Wesley and McAllister did hear it from Lyda's office though ... hopefully it'll be another reason why reporters and the public can't trust that odd group of strange people.

We'll get it taken care of, don ' t worry.

Diana Straub heard it and let Molly know today in church . I can gurantee Diana heard it from the horses mouth or the horses office - she and Janey. are pretty friendly. When confronted lyda won't be able to do anything but apologize for her staff . How unbecoming and embarrassing for her office esp when press start inquiring...

Sounds like The Bristol rumor was started and continues via Lyda ' s office . ( Namely , Portia Babcock - Lyda's COS , Tuckerman ' s sister ( Tuckerman being Lyda ' s new son - in-law), former spouse of Kyle Parker ( the oil / gas lobbyist busted for working with Ruedrich while at AOGCC ), now girlfriend of Ralph Samuels ... all those attributes all rolled into one Portia.

Anyway, a former leg staffer heard the discussion at a rest, in Wasilla , evidently sitting near Lyda's people ... she passed it on again today to folks at my sister ' s church ... it's pretty pathetic.

Bristol does want it squashed - we just don ' t know how to do so without making it a bigger issue . Can you feel out Wesley and McAllister to see if that ' s where they got the rumor, as others are saying it's Lyda ' s office . I figured it was them or Bitney.

And that was not the ONLY time this "rumor" was discussed in the e-mails.

Hate to pick at this one again, but have heard three different times today the rumor again the Bristol is pregnant or had this baby. Even at Trig's doc appt this morning his doc said that's out there (hopefully NOT in their medical community-world, but it's out there). Bristol called again this afternoon asking if there's anything we can do to stop this, as she received two girlfriend-type calls today asking if it were true.

Okay so here is my quandary.

If Bristol gave birth on December 27, 2008, and Tripp Johnston was carried to full term, then in fact it is improbable that Bristol was pregnant on April 6, but could very well have been already pregnant on April 22, but there is NO WAY anybody could have possibly known that since, according to Levi, even Bristol did not know until May.

Yet so strong were these rumors that even after Sarah faked Trig's birth, they refused to go away.

In fact they did not seem to diminish at all until the McCain campaign announced that Bristol was pregnant.

Now just to make things interesting let's add to the mix that both Mercede and her mother claimed that Levi and Bristol had been TRYING to get pregnant.

So while there were already rumors that Bristol was pregnant, and she was complaining to her mom about them, she was actively TRYING to get pregnant?

And after trying for months to quell the rumor that her daughter was pregnant, Palin did not hesitate to scream that fact from the rooftops when she realized that she needed to do something to put the faked pregnancy rumors to rest or risk losing her shiny new VP slot.

No matter how you look at this, or who you want to believe, something STILL smells very fishy indeed.
