One can learn to rationalize anything to justify one's position. I only just learned of this upon waking up in Japan this morning, a few hours ago, but I figured these things, these kinds of things, would leak out and start to undercut her.

It will be a combination of liberal opposition research operatives mercilessly digging into Gov. Palin's background at every level and bringing up ALL KINDS OF STUFF.

And it will also dovetail into the lack of due dilegence, of deep vetting on this choice IMHO, by the McCain team and McCain himself, which will create an unfortunate situation. In a sense I suspect he just tossed the dice on a whim. Not good. Ballsy but not prudent. What is too good to be true usually turns out to be too good to be true.

I was hesitant to get on the bullet train of support for her, but decided to take a wait and see attitude. I still have not made up my mine, although I would certainly prefer HER much more as President than the RINO McCain she is running with, which I stated here already (if not somewhat tongue in cheek).

My understanding is McCain and Palin knew about it for sometime. Seems the hometown in Alaska considered it an “open secret”
