Good that Palin “is in excellent health and has no known health problems that would interfere with her ability to carry out the duties and obligations of the Vice President of the United States of America.”

As PR professional (I know, it's an oxymoron), the timing of the release is a red flag. In PR, you release good news early so it can get coverage over a length of time. For example, publicly traded companies release good news on a Monday or Tuesday so the trade press and dailies can pick it up, contact the company for comment, and report on it fully, and the markets have time to absorb it and hopefully drive your stock higher. With any luck, you can get reporters to do follow up so you maximize coverage and positive impact on your stock. They release bad news after the markets close on Friday, so reporters have little time to seek comment before execs go home for the weekend, and hope that nobody follows up on Monday. The fact that Palin released incomplete records (which she knew was far less than what the skeptics were looking for) the evening before polls opened suggests that she doesn't want to answer questions about what's not in the two pages she released. But in this case, it's not Friday and reporters aren't going to forget about it over the weekend. Essentially, she's thrown gas on the fire, which will just create more smoke…and where there's smoke, there's usually fire.

Obama released his medical records on May 29th and Biden released his on October 20th.

I agree, there's no reason to release the records this late if there is nothing in them that would make voters think twice before pushing the red “vote” button.

The letter is very vague. Due to Palin's reluctance to release anything at all, it seems she is hiding something. Not her baby, depression, personal issues at home? Something is not right with this lady and she shouldn't be in the position to assume the highest office in our great country.
