Here's my source:
"Later that morning, John McCain departed for Phoenix and Governor Palin departed with staff to Flagstaff, Arizona. Governor Palin, Kris Perry, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter proceeded to the Manchester Inn and Conference Center in Middleton, Ohio. They were checked into the hotel as the Upton Family. While there, Governor Palin’s children, who had been told they were going to Ohio to celebrate their parents’ wedding anniversary, were told for the first time that their mother would be a nominee for Vice President of the United States of America."

If Gov Palin didn't discuss the consequences of pursuing the Vice Presidency with Bristol BEFORE accepting the slot, she's just an opportunist willing to sacrifice her child to her ambition. If she did, then the story needs to be rebutted, directly.
The "grandmother" rumor was reported anonymously in the Daily Kos and seems to have been debunked. I was just having fun with this wild, crazy, and rapidly changing story.
However, seriously, "why" did McCain pick Palin? Surely, there were better Republican women available. For example Olympia Snow - she's a maverick, experienced,
and highly respected.
Furthermore, "why" did Gov. Palin accept? She seems like she has a lot on her plate with TrooperGate, a handicapped baby, two other young children, a son in Iraq, and a pregnant, unwed daughter.
Why go through all of this drama? I just don't get it. ----Jim
