Axelrod got away with opening sealed divorce records on Hull and Ryan during the US Senate race in 2004.

I remember freepers condemning Ryan’s sex scandal and he had to withdraw from the race in disgrace.

Axelrod thought a third time would be a charm taking out Palin.

McCain knew the game plan?
Took counter-measures?

If anybody ever makes comments about her being a bolt out of the blue or not "vetted" by McCain - I've got a link below for them to look at. She has been considered a "rising star" for some time now by political junkies in the NewMedia.

Ya gotta love how everyone was saying “she wasn't vetted” when he met with her early this year and the NewMedia has had Palin high in their sights almost forever now. But the FRAUDcasters of the Dinosaur Media only saw DC VPs. LOL.

Saying that McCain picked Palin out of the blue is premised on her being completely unknown to him - but that is just foolish. I keep linking MadIvan’s VP analysis because he called for Palin back in February just to show as many people as possible just how stupid the OldMedia has become:

Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President - MadIvan - Feb'08

MadIvan’s analysis of Palin for VP in Feb was not the first time I had seen her suggested- but I’m a real political junkie.

I’m SURE that McCain knew of her WELL before I had - she really has shaken up some of his Senate colleagues during her rise up in Alaska - she had to have had attention of “maverick”. And there were several very bright articles written over during the six months after her win in Alaska about the GOP’s new “rising star”

I think it is so funny that she was in MY top three as VP choices, but the Dinosaur Media, and apparently snObama's campaign, was caught with their pants down.

She was also my favorite pick, too, but I didn't think she had a snowball's chance in Hell of actually being picked!

She was one of Newt's top 3 picks, as well, so all the MSM blubbering is totally uncalled for. If they had been listening at all, they would have known about her.
