at first i thought it was a stunning play, get a woman on the ticket, but looks like it was done too hasty, and we are only 1 week into it, wait til they are able to get some of the real dirtout of her. this may be crippling
looks like they spent 1 day researching her? if that are not saying it directly, its certainly what things are pointing to.
Among other less attention-grabbing news of the day: it was learned that Ms. Palin now has a private lawyer in a legislative ethics investigation in Alaska into whether she abused her power in dismissing the state?s public safety commissioner; that she was a member for two years in the 1990s of the Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede; and that Mr. Palin was arrested 22 years ago on a drunken-driving charge.
A Republican with ties to the campaign said the team assigned to vet Ms. Palin in Alaska had not arrived there until Thursday, a day before Mr. McCain stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice.
