- 17-year-old daughter is pregnant -- and why has no one used the term "shotgun wedding" yet
- May have gotten a state trooper fired for personal reasons -- amongst other people (same link)
- May not have won all the beauty contest awards she said she did
- She flip-flopped on the Bridge to Nowhere
- She's been a supportive member of the Alaskan Independence Party
- It appears that she is outshining the actual nominee
Up until midweek last week, some 48 to 72 hours before Mr. McCain introduced Ms. Palin at a Friday rally in Dayton, Ohio, Mr. McCain was still holding out the hope that he could choose a good friend, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, a Republican close to the campaign said. Mr. McCain had also been interested in another favorite, former Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania.
But both men favor abortion rights, anathema to the Christian conservatives who make up a crucial base of the Republican Party. As word leaked out that Mr. McCain was seriously considering the men, the campaign was bombarded by outrage from influential conservatives who predicted an explosive floor fight at the convention and vowed rejection of Mr. Ridge or Mr. Lieberman by the delegates...
“They didn’t seriously consider her until four or five days from the time she was picked, before she was asked, maybe the Thursday or Friday before,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “This was really kind of rushed at the end, because John didn’t get what he wanted. He wanted to do Joe or Ridge.”
Oh, Sarah. You poor, bat-shit crazy bitch. I am thoroughly convinced Palin was picked only to keep McCain's name in the news and not leave him as an "also ran."
And this can't be a good sign for the McCain-Palin ticket.
