McCain Campaign Used the Googles!

[Danascot]

One Republican strategist with close ties to the campaign described the candidate's closest supporters as "keeping their fingers crossed" in hopes that additional information does not force McCain to revisit the decision. According to this Republican, who would discuss internal campaign strategizing only on condition of anonymity, the McCain team used little more than a Google Internet search as part of a rushed effort to review Palin's potential pitfalls. Just over a week ago, Palin was not on McCain's short list of potential running mates, the Republican said.

3. Someone help me with this line:

On Monday, the McCain campaign dispatched lawyers to Alaska in a move described as an attempt to manage a growing crowd of journalists who have traveled there to inspect Palin's background. But the move raises the impression that the McCain campaign didn't know everything about his No. 2 and is now racing to learn what it can while trying to avoid tough questions about the Arizona senator's decision-making process.

In what way would McCain's lawyers "manage" journalists?

5. Look at the dirt we have been able to Google about her

They didn't google too far or they would have known all these issues.

Google vetting of the candidate who at any moment could become the leader of the free world as they like to call the US. God Help Us, we can't take another 4 years of this.

6. Clearly they didn't even bother to google

and just imagine all the shady deals that are lurking behind the scenes.
McCain's cleaners are never gonna be able to erase it all.... and they
are in a race with the press. Palin may squeak through the week,
but John McCain is left looking like a world-class idiot.
