The once independent thinking man McCain)has become a party panderer. McCain claims to have vetted Palin a woman whom he met once is rediculous. If that's called good judgement, I am worried about our country.
As for Joe Lieberman's praise of Palin last night with no mention of his friend Joe Biden is a Zel Miller disgrace. The real story is Lieberman The Benedict Arnold of the Democratic party. Joe Lieberman met Palin once as well and yet he touted her experience. What experience? This Palin pick was to satisfy the base and is obviously surprised by the negative news she is making. To ask for special treatment for Palin is ridiculous. Senator Clinton was treated with disprect and sexism. No one came to her defense and Palin who unsuccessfully tried to compare herself to Clinton is way out of her league since Palin called Hillary a whiner during the primaries and now she speaks of the "glass ceiling".
The person whining the most behind the scene is McCain for selecting a controversial VP who is creating more questions about her integrity then answers. I don't think this was well thought through. A teenage daughter pregnant should not be held to a different standard then Brittney Spears teen sister who faced enormous scrutiny with her pregnancy. The general consensus was Spears was a bad influence on our teens.
If Palin was vetted, the person responsible should be fired for creating controversy rather then complimenting the base. This Palin pick is an enormous blunder one which McCain will regret.
