I'm pretty much convinced that McCain is lying about vetting Palin.

I mean... SO MUCH stuff has come out about her in less than a week. It's unreal.

But the bigger issue is about McCain himself. He made a HUGE blunder with his VP pick, obviously, yet still insists she was fully vetted.

That just defies logic. It's just not plausible.

A more believable explanation, IMO, is that he made a snap decision, totally reckless and impulsive. But doesn't have the guts to admit it.

3. Yes, he is lying.
If she actually had been vetted, they would have had a plan to deal with all these revelations. It's clear that the McCain campaign had no plan. They are learning this stuff the same time we are.

5. That's what makes this kind-of fun...
You imagine how you would react to some of these revelations, and then you see how the McCain camp deals with it...

4. I wouldn't expect any politician in that position to admit that they'd made
a mistake regarding something so crucial. I think his story about how thoroughly she'd been vetted -- and when -- has been pretty much discounted.

6. His "vetting" consisted of looking at her pic, making sure SHE had kids, and

confirming that she loves Jesus.

I am dead serious. He can't possibly have gone beyond that.
