Levi Krueger

Levi Krueger was one of the boys rumored to be the father of Bristol Palin's baby, before the father was revealed to be Levi Johnston.

The McCain campaign released the news that Bristol Palin was five months pregnant on September 1, 2008. Although the statement did not identify the father, some bloggers claimed that the baby's father was Levi Krueger. The assumption appears to be based on pictures that a woman named Mercede, who bloggers identified as Levi's sister, posted on her MySpace page.Progressive Alaska: Congratulations, Bristol Palin and Levi (September 1, 2008) In the photo, the woman is featured with Trig and Sarah Palin, which she titled "Mommy Inlaw, Trig and Myself."cvxn: Busted by MySpace (Sorry, Sarah!)

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates." — Official statement from the Palin familyUSA Today: Palin: Daughter, 17, is pregnant (September 1, 2008)
