Bristol Palin appears to have benefited from the arrest of her possible future mother-in-law. After the arrest of the mother of the alleged father of Bristol's soon-to-arrive son occurred, MSNBC reports that the first baby pictures immediately became more valuable:According to one source, bidding for the baby photos began at $100,000. People won out in the end, but In Touch was the only other weekly to make serious bids, according to several sources involved in the process.
The price didn't soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn’t sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.
“Sarah was on the cover of People, Us Weekly, and OK! the same week, and really only People saw a bump in sales," says a source.
The drug-related arrest of Johnston's mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.

end of Alaska love affair with Palin, as oil falls and spending cuts are inevitable and her kids make $300,000 they will be the scapegoats.
murkowski poll number to follow
There is a post on Mudflats now wondering if it is really true that the baby has been born.
They have changed the birth weight, day and time on the announcement at People. First it was Sunday, now it is Saturday. Weight was 7 # 7 now 7 # 4 or the other way around...can't remember for sure...but it has changed. Just strange little things...makes you wonder what is up.
Of course People is going to deny any $$$$ deal for the baby pics!!
They have a reputation to uphold, after all... :P

People mag folks know they got a real "Wasilla hillbillies" deal, after the way ubercelebrities Brad & Angelina held them up...but then again, Brad & Angelina donated all of THEIR baby pix money to charity)...
the last thing two 18 yr olds need is 300k.
