Who cares about digging up more dirt on Sarah Palin? The key to the issue has already proven itself out. McCain made a rash decision based on his instincts and the advice of the pack of lobbyists and Rovites that he has now surrounded himself with. Now, the same people who lauded the National Enquirer when they broke the Edwards story can spin like demons when the focus is on them. This will be great sport to watch.
McCain decided, and clearly so, that it was more important to win an election than to select a VP that could step in as President if needed on day one. McCain decided to continue his record of thinking all women are basically stupid and picking one to go after the PUMA vote (which is really like trying to find a unicorn at this point). McCain decided that he doesn't need a VP to be there and help him govern, and that he would rather have someone he can mold on the job.
The worst part, is that McCain has looked the American people collectively right in the eye and lied about why he made this pick, and the process he used to make it. He lied. He lied to cover up his lack of a logical and systematic method of solving the issue of picking a running mate. He lied to justify his decision. HE LIED. That is the issue.
