The Cindy and Karl Show
Everyone is missing the point about Gov .Palin. Sarah Palin is Cindy and Karl Rove's pick. She's young, attractive, a mom, has the right titles on her resume, and is republican. Both Karl and Cindy know that the VP pick would need to be weaker than McCain so that they could run the country with McCain has the puppet. A strong VP would have blocked that. Watch Cindy McCain at rallies, etc. Rove called Lieberman to tell him to drop out of the running. She treats McCain like an old man who needs to be guided around. Imagine him in the White House.
Based on the published reports and available video, Palin is in way over her head. To be a governor, she is ignorant of the role of the VP of the United States. That's rich! She wants to make sure that the VP is a step up from being governor. That's scary.
When John McCain saw photo again, he stopped listening to the reasoning why he should pick Palin. All he needed to know was she someone to entertain him until Nov. 5, the day the country retires his jersey.

Much as I think Palin is a poor choice, I don't think it's fair to criticize her for wondering if she could use her time productively as Vice-president. The position has some duties traditionally assigned to it, but only by grace of the individual President (other than hanging around waiting for the Prez to die, or pretending to lead the Senate). She might easily have wanted her position clarified before considering taking the post.

whomever1; I don't disagree with you. But McCain offered her the job and she accepted running for the job after one meeting. They are strangers.
