Sarah Palin is pro life, yet she will leave the raising of her family, including a four month old SPECIAL NEEDS son to someone else? You can’t be the vice president and raise a family simultanously…even Jesus himself didn’t pull off that feat.

Chet, agreed. McCain met Palin once, talked with her on the phone once, and made his decision with having that little knowledge of her. By contrast, Obama and Biden were friends in the senate prior to the start of the presidential campaign, then they campaigned against each other for a year and change, and after that, for the vetting process, Biden was apparently always at the top of the shortlist.

Mike. Reports came out after this was published that Palin was vetted for a week, by a team of lawyers without even necessarily concurrence with senior McCain staff. No, she was simply not vetted enough to work in the mail room, let alone vice president of the united states.

Rascal, Thank you very much. You know, I agree with you there. So long as Biden doesn’t say something blatantly offensive, I think he’s going to eviscerate her in the debates, that is assuming that she is still the running mate at the time. At the rate that this roll out is going, I’m hoping for a withdrawl.

Very well-written article, and I’ve read a bunch of them this morning. So far they are all missing this little fact. Her high popularity in Alaska. Two reasons: 1. Replaced a crooked and despised former governor. (I know this is a shock in Alaska) and 2. Gave every man, woman, and child, in Alaska, an extra $1200 from the state oil trust fund last year. (Well, duhhh)

Let’s call her what she is. Dan Quayle-in-a-dress! In fairness to VP Quayle, he only does this himself at home and on the weekends.

“When it comes to troopergate, what we see is a clear indication that Palin was simply not vetted well enough, if at all.”

Most interesting point, but I am not convinced. Why would you conclude this instead of concluding McCain knew and did not care. I lean toward the latter because it is not a significant issue.

Similarly, could this be an indication that Pawlenty, Huckabee, Romney, et al were vetted with worse results?

McCain is showing again that he is just like Bush. McCain has made a gut felling choice that only to him make any sense. If he had checked with others about the idea of picking Palin he just might have understood you do not pick people to fill such important positions without careful consideration. Maybe you should also consider if they are qualified for the job. Our country can not afford the type of leadership shown by McCain.
