Palin Says She’s Open to Releasing Her Medical Records

Elizabeth Holmes reports from Green, Ohio, on the presidential race. Sarah Palin is open to releasing her medical records, the GOP vice-presidential candidate said during an interview Wednesday with Brian Williams from NBC Nightly News. During a discussion between Williams, Palin and her running mate John McCain , Williams asked Palin about the records, which the campaign has kept private. “If that will allow some curiosity seekers perhaps to have one more thing that they either check the box off that can find something to criticize or to rest them assured over,” Palin said. “I’m healthy, happy and I’ve had five kids.” Palin said she’s never been seriously hurt or injured, saying that that would be evident “if” the records are released. Palin, an avid runner and outdoorswoman, gave birth to her fifth child just last April.
