“The blog where you found this post also lists Democratic Underground as one of its “favorite” websites. I’m sorry, but I can’t put much credence in a blog that admires DU.”

Yes I understand and I do consider the sources, but that doesn’t mean that they are always to be dismissed out of hand. The Enquirer is hardly the go-to source for reliable news, yet they’ve gotten some great scoops. In the eyes of the DUmmies, Hannity was seen as a kook and an enemy when he kept harping on Obama’s Wright and Ayers connections, but to their chagrin they turned out to be true and powerful stories.

My point is simply that your enemy is much better at digging dirt about you than your friends, so if dirt is an issue you may want to pay attention to what they got.

Most of the time I ignore what DU and its ilk have to say, but in this case there is just too much “smoke”.

Be honest with yourself - do you really think the McCain team did a responsible job of vetting Palin, if at all?

Yes, having been a Sarah Palin admirer for a long time, I was very pleased when McCain chose her. In fact, I haven't spoken to anyone who has been displeased with the choice, even AFTER this story about her daughter came out. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, is pleased.

Who would you have had McCain choose? Lieberman? A man more than just liberal on social issues? Romney? Worthy, but certainly bearing his own baggage. As far as I've been able to deduce, every single person McCain would have chosen has SOME problem to be overcome. In comparison, Sarah's seem small.

What issues are you really worried about. Their ridiculous claim that Trig wasn’t Sarah’s baby turned out to be a false, malicious, and unfounded lie. The trooper gate scandal sounds bad untill you learn the facts and realize that the trooper in question had tasered her nephew, threatened her fathers life and threatened her sister. He had also drunk while on the job, abused his authority and gotten into a brawl in a bar - not to mention illegally shooting a moose. So, if you were the chief executive officer and you knew all these facts about one of your cops don’t you think you would mention them. Especially if the chief of your security determined that this cop was a threat and told you to communicate this to the police department. Anyway, this scandal is so over as soon as people learn the facts.

Yes, and the family went through an FBI background check, financial, and other vetting means.

“Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager and the person at the point of the vice presidential process, said there was no abrupt change of course in the final hours. Nor, he said, was Palin selected without having gone through the full vetting process that was done for other finalists. That process included reviews of financial and other personal data, an FBI background check and considerable discussion among the handful of McCain advisers involved in the deliberations.”

Get over yourself.
