Updates: Big Book Of Track Palin Rumors

In light of the new Enquirer story, here are the updates to our story on the "Rumored Track Palin Vandalism Story".

Update 1: Here is a very good blog which was covering this story from the bloggy net in Alaska (from comments of other Alaskan bloggers, this site is highly regarded). It speaks to the story's credibility. Read It Here.

Update 2: If anyone can translate this for me, feel free to comment. This is a statement of a spokesperson of the Governor about Track's decision to enlist. "Gov. Palin has declined to comment. The Palin family wants to keep private some aspects of his decision, spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said. " What would one have to say except that they were proud of the decision?

Update 3: snopes.com has opened a thread on this rumor. They usually do a good job of ferreting out the wheat and chaff. They appear to be "open" on this rumor.

Update 4: Ryan Tate of Gawker.com has compiled a guide to ALL the Palin rumors (a task which is comparable to the Harry Potter Lexicon). We are referenced in the link "boards" in the Track Palin story at the top of the rumor list although we are more bloggy at blogreally.com than boardy.

Update 5: Interesting detail of an investigation into this story on newswire.com. Apparently the Washington Post has been investigating this as well. Each of the Alaskan blogs lending some creedance to this story has a source they trust. In the newswire.com story the news director of KUDO referenced claims a source that worked with the judicial system(?) in Anchorage.
Deep Freeze?

Update 6: The New York Daily News is reporting that one of the vandals (Deryck Harris) of the referenced Mat-Su bus vandalism incident is going on the record to say Track was not with him on the night of the tire deflating, engine block cooling fiasco. Also the mother of the other named vandal (David Coon) also says Track was not involved. The McCain campaign has refused to comment but as we have been saying for quite a time now, why then don't they just deny it? Several bloggers and citizen journalists are continuing to research this story.

Update 7: Dead End?
