And yet, why is everyone NOW saying that it was a bad pick?
I mean remember months back when Kathleen Parker at National Review got thousands of hate-emails because she dared to say the obvious?
But utter lack of experience & knowledge of Africa and NAFTA are beside the point. McCain's campaign picked her, who rode the bubble of her (brief) popular support, who turned loose this lady - an unknown quantity - on the campaign trail to create fear and hate AND NOW are the ones criticizing HER in order to save their own careers by leaking these little tidbits to the conservative FOX newS?
Nobody wants to be the scapegoat, that's why.
And its been known for months that Palin was a compromise pick. McCain wanted his buddy Joe Lieberman or Tom Ridge, while McCain's campaign chief Schmidt (a Rove protege) wanted Mitt Romney.
That said, Palin was still a poor pick, and the GOP of the immediate future is fucked if they think seriously that she's the future of the party.
The future is Bobby Jindal.
