McCain shouldn't have asked her, and she shouldn't have accepted. I was one of the 2% who voted on the freeper poll recently that this would make me less likely to vote for McCain. And that was before I knew about this daughter getting pregnant at 16. McCain promised to pick someone who was ready on day one to be president. Sarah Palin, however quick a study, just doesn't have time to be ready by January 20th, not with a special needs infant to worry about, legal problems/impeachment worries at home, still being governor, and on the campaign trail!

She isn't being fair to her family by exposing them to all this, and, sorry to say, she and McCain aren't being fair to the country.

Anyone McCain picked would be exposed to attacks, with a *few* third party malcontents here joining in. The pick is never going to be perfect, but why don't you tell us your pick and why it would help McCain. Also realize that your hypothetical pick won't go through the media wringer.

“She isn’t being fair to her family by exposing them to all this, and, sorry to say, she and McCain aren’t being fair to the country. “

Exactly.

This is about McCain’s judgement. How did we get in this mess where McCain is our only defense against Obama?
