It's all really silly. Both candidates have dirt on them. Fact is, they also both get briefings from the military, FBI, and CIA. They have clearance at the top levels of government. So, I'm confident they've been thoroughly vetted. But the smears, no matter how ridiculous and tenuous, will play to those that want to believe in them. Although this time around, I don't think it's enough to change the course of things.
Dare I say that Democrats AND Republicans in power will do what's required not to allow a possible Palin Presidency. The cute stuff is endearing to some, but frankly, it's not becoming of the serious role of VP. It's a dangerous world and a little more depth is required. Maybe if McCain had selected her far in advance and actually allowed her to get acquinted, things could work. But it just doesn't seem realistic at this point.
That being said, the smear strategy has worked wonders in the past so I'll never say never. It's just unlikely.
