The McCain vetting of Palin reminds me of something that happened awhile back in West Virginia. The McCain campaign claimed it had been endorsed by a major Democrat. The major Democrat turned out to be a man known here as Icky Frye. Mr. Frye married an immigrant looking for citizenship. She, a fairly attractive woman, got a job in state government and then had an affair with Gov. Bob Wise. Mr. Frye, who is, let us say kindly, a bit disheveled as well as a loose cannon, decided to run for governor to get revenge on Mr. Wise (who has since left politics). Icky Frye, the prominent Democrat, got one or two percent of the vote. He is considered a joke. This is Sen. McCain's prominent supporter.
I'd say the same people who vetted Icky Frye vetted Sarah Palin.
