If so then they did indeed do a very poor job of vetting Palin. Because it seems the pregnancy was no secret to those in the town she lived in.

From an earlier post in this thread:
In Wasilla, Pregnancy Was No Secret - TIME

So his name is Levi. That's about the only thing that I didn't know about Bristol Palin's pregnancy. The rest of the details I picked up almost without trying, while talking about other things with townsfolk — some who know the governor and her family well, some who don't. It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it's really nobody's business beyond that.
