McCain camp's detailed review of Palin - Yahoo! News Quote:
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Sarah Palin's path to the Republican ticket started with her name on a list — and a team of some 25 people poring through public records searching for trouble spots without her knowledge. Then came the 70-question survey and a nearly three-hour interview.

The review officially ended Thursday, when John McCain asked the Alaska governor to be his running mate.
In the days since, Republicans and Democrats have privately questioned whether the Arizona senator chose the first-term governor without fully looking into her background. McCain's campaign has vehemently defended the review.
Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr., the lawyer who conducted the review, told The Associated Press in an interview Monday that Palin underwent a "full and complete" examination before McCain chose her. Asked whether everything that came up as a possible red flag during the review already has been made public, Culvahouse said: "I think so. Yeah, I think so. Correct."
| I wonder what made them chose her over Mitt Romney?

In fairness to McCain, he didn't really have the same quality talent pool from which to choose his VP that Obama did. He had to pick from several less-than-stellar candidates.
I think that all things considered, she was a better pick than most of McCain's alternatives. But I could yet be proven wrong, especially if the media dredges up some REAL scandals in the coming weeks.

She wasn't slapped on some ticket so she could look pretty. She campaigned and actually fought her way till the end. Your argument is a bit disingenuous. How is Hillary a token woman? | |
