Sarah Palin was vetted and this was known to the McCain campaign.

The Republicans were just waiting for the dims and their mouthpieces in the media to walk right into this kill box.

Just like they did with Hurricane Gustav and just as they are going to do on the "experience issue" with someone who leads 17,000 employes in an $8 Billion enterprise with a $1.2 Billion surplus (2007 numbers, your mileage may vary) and a GDP of $42 Billion. When you are comparing your number 1 with our number 2 on experience, you are losing.

If the stakes weren't so serious, and the dims so unlikeable, I could almost feel sympathy for them. Just like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, the audience can see the next catastrophe coming from a long way away, and the dims and the media, like Wile, have a look of utter disbelief on their faces as they stand amidst the wreckage.

I agree that the McCain team knew that once this can of worms was opened, Obama’s own illegitimacy as a child would be fair game.

“Just like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon ...”

LOL! Perfect simile.
