McCain's desperation is showingAug 29th, 2008 - 17:18:34
The GOP is facing investigations in Alaska, and is absolutely boring the crap out of their base going into their Convention, which ironically is competing with attention with a potential Katrina repeat - a hurricane.
This is a blatant attempt to resurrect his right-wing constituency and to make a showing against someone who demonstrates that they HAVE support, and to gather them around some token candidate with no actual qualifications to even serve in national office - so why not start her off at the top?
And, look how well it turned out when the pulled the same crap with Cheney and Bush.
It would have made more sense to stick some lipstick and mascara on Romney, and turn Ken into Barbie.
'A legislative panel has launched a $100,000 investigation to determine if Palin dismissed Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire the trooper, Mike Wooten,' the AP wrote earlier this month. 'Wooten went through a messy divorce from Palin's sister. Palin has denied the commissioner's dismissal had anything to do with her former brother-in-law. And she denied orchestrating the dozens of telephone calls made by her husband and members of her administration to Wooten's bosses. Palin said she welcomes the investigation: 'Hold me accountable.''
Although she's not linked to them, Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young are facing legal/ethical troubles. In fact, Stevens' trial will start in late September, so the Alaska Republican Party is a mess. And Palin's trooper trouble could play into that.
It will be interesting to see which story line catches on: 'Palin, the reformer/maverick', or 'Palin, under investigation?'
(Perhaps being crooked is one of the GOP qualifications. Remember Rudy's pal Kerik? Remember the Abramoff mess? Remember McCain and the Keating five?)

'McCain's desperation is showing'
LOL, he is even in the polls despite being outspent 3 to 1 and his server went down twice today because of the contributions from the conservative base that was holding off endorsing him until he picked a solid VP.
Conservative base, check.
A percentage of Clinton voters, check.
More executive experience then the democrat ticket combined? Check.
