Is the Palin selection more evidence that McCain isn't in control of his own campaign?

[LostInAnomie]

It's been a common theme ever since McCain started running the anti-Obama smear ads. The pundits and commentators have been saying that John McCain wouldn't run these kinds of ads is he were truly in charge of his campaign. Many have been saying that his campaign managers have taken control and McCain is just a passive participant.

Now, McCain has selected Sarah Palin. She's a relative unknown to the general public, and McCain had only two conversations with her before her selection. McCain is notorious for only working with those that he is comfortable with and knows are loyal to him. His relative ignorance of Palin shows that someone else made the selection for him.

What do you think?

1. This was a Karl Rove selection for McLame so

yes, you can definitely say that Gramps has totally lost control of EVERYTHING. Including his bowels.

2. I think it's an indication that mccain would run his administration

based on what would benefit himself/GOPers politically... much like the bush administration
