I was thinking about how Sarah Palin's nomination came about.
I wondered who advanced her name to McCain.
I knew there had to be a plan.
Check over the jump for the plan...
I knew that once I learned who recommended Palin to McCain this whole mess would start to make sense and this below article starts to bring it home. Read on.

Neoconservatives whose influence had been waning in Washington have hitched their colours to rising star Sarah Palin in a bid to shape US foreign policy for another decade.

Comments by the governor of Alaska in her first television interview, in which she said Nato may have to go to war with Russia and took a tough line on Iran's nuclear programme, were the result of two weeks of briefings by neoconservatives.
Sources in the McCain camp, the Republican Party and Washington think tanks say Mrs Palin was identified as a potential future leader of the neoconservative cause in June 2007. That was when the annual summer cruise organised by the right-of-centre Weekly Standard magazine docked in Juneau, the Alaskan state capital, and the pundits on board took tea with Governor Palin.
Her case as John McCain's running mate was later advanced vociferously by William Kristol, the magazine's editor, who is widely seen as one of the founding fathers of American neoconservative thought - including the robust approach to foreign policy which spurred American intervention in Iraq.
In 1988, Mr Kristol became a leading adviser of another inexperienced Republican vice presidential pick, Dan Quayle, tutoring him in foreign affairs. Last week he praised Mrs Palin as "a spectre of a young, attractive, unapologetic conservatism" that "is haunting the liberal elites".
Now many believe that the "neocons", whose standard bearer in government, Vice President Dick Cheney, lost out in Washington power struggles to the more moderate defence secretary Robert Gates and secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, last year are seeking to mould Mrs Palin to renew their influence.
A former Republican White House official, who now works at the American Enterprise Institute, a bastion of Washington neoconservatism, admitted: "She's bright and she's a blank page. She's going places and it's worth going there with her."
Kristol and his lemmings want to consolidate all that the Bush administration has put in place and Palin is the person to do it for them.
Since she is the 'blank page' they can write and project all of their perverted policy ideas onto her and she will carry them out.
Folks McCain will not have the power. She. Will.
This is their moment and they will do anything to win.
Palin was selected and then foisted upon McCain and he allowed them to takeover him and his campaign.
McCain is no longer in control.
See how when she campaigns they go crazy? With McCain out on the stump the crowds are depressed.
Palin is a very dangerous woman. I know folk want us to stop talking about her but one cannot stop talking about her. We must connect her to the crazy neocons as well as to McCain and Bush.
She really must be stopped.
