Trig is most likely derived from the condition Trisomy G, another name for Down syndrome. In the medical profession, those with Trisomy conditions (three chromosomes on either the 13th, 18th or, in Down Syndrome cases, the 21st) are sometimes given the name "trig babies". This is not meant as condescension but merely for brevity.

As for Ms. Palin's true motivation, Sarah allegedly decided to name her son Trig after his great uncle who was a commercial fisherman in Bristol bay, though this is somewhat questionable as the Heaths (Sarah's parents) moved to Alaska from Idaho when she was an infant in addition to having no Scandinavian roots of note (Trygg being the origin).

Whom did John McCain pick as vice president?

Sarah Palin John McCain's running mate is Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Palin thinks so little of America's perfection that she continues to "pal around" with a man--her husband, actually--who only recently ended his seven-year registration as a card carrying member of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP). AIP founding father Joe Vogler writes "I'm an Alaskan, not an American, I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." Members of the AIP are urged to register as members of, and infiltrate the major political parties to achieve their aims to rebel against America and put Alaska First. They appealed to the United Nations and claimed it was a violation of international law for Alaska to become an American State. Putting plunder above patriotism, the members of this traitorous political party aim to break America into pieces and walk away with Alaska's rich federal oil fields. They claim to be the third largest political party in Alaska. Todd and Sarah Palin attended several AIP conventions. Palin gave a speech earlier this year to the AIP convention, praising the good work being done by the AIP.


Did the Republican Party force McCain to pick Sarah Palin?

According to John McCain, no. According to others, you may take your pick of opinions, from Christian Conservative conspiracies making him do it to the outright crude suggestions that he picked her freely, but based upon her obvious attractiveness. Perhaps better would be to ask if Parties ever do force their candidates to pick certain running mates. The answer would be "yes" and "no". Obviously pressure may be brought to bear, and it may well have been in the case of John McCain picking Sarah Palin. The Party may well of thought that given a black Democratic candidate, that they needed some kind of minority. On the other hand, ultimately, the choice was the candidate's. And McCain is savvy and experienced enough not to bow to pressure to take on a running mate that he thought would tank his chances. After all, if he didn't think she'd be of help, why not then just say "no" to his party? He'd be better off not running, then to run and lose. Logic suggests then that even if the Party strongly hinted, that McCain himself freely chose Palin.


How do you pick a Halloween costume?

ANSWER Great Halloween costumes are usually current with what is popular in pop culture. In the 2008 Presidential election, Sarah Palin costumes and Barack Obama costumes were popular costumes because of extensive media coverage and the candidates' celebrity status. If you want to go beyond the classic, ghost, witch, cat or ghoul costume, pick a Halloween costume that fits your personality and your budget for a happy trick-or-treating excursion.


How could McCain seriously pick a candidate so unqualified as Palin?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Common wisdom requires Moderate presidential candidates to choose conservative running mates and visa versa. John McCain picked Sarah Palin because she has conservative core values like small government and low taxes (unlike Bush whose tendencies were lefty when under pressure) and a reputation as someone that will not put party before country, a maverick if you will. John McCain made an excellent choice. Even though not in any office she has been driving popular opinion, influencing nation elections and helping to create an environment that will be unfavorable to socialist Democrats as well as moderate Republicans. Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Movement creates a synergy that will leave an indelible mark on American politics and the world for that matter, as the success of these ideals propels America again, as they have under Reagan. Many of the same criticisms of Palin were once said of Reagan all to be proven pathetically wrong. Ronald Reagan was said to be "too extreme" and "unqualified", among other things he was also said to be outdated a relic of the 50's. Ronald Reagan would have loved Sarah Palin.
