Here's why McCain did not vet Palin
Oops, did I say McCain? I meant Rove. But anyway.

Why should he? If she has any dirty laundry that might come out (and we're finding out how seldom she does her laundry!), WHO CARES??? The MSM, who they own, will eventually just attribute it all to "democratic operatives" slinging mud! And then she'll be cast as the poor innocent victim.

So why bother vetting?

2. The whole lot of them since Nixon have had so little regard for democracy...
They loved reagan, he could crack jokes and still get in there. When they got bush in they realized it was way easier than even they thought. Palin hasn't been vetted cause they now have no regard for democracy, experience, vetting, votes, voters, nothing; just winning and that's all that matters to them.

4. What Amazed Me on Friday
Was watching the main stream media try to find out who the VP candidate was going to be. When the first report came in that it "might" be Palin, one reporter on the campaign trail laughed and said..."yeah right, that would be the stupidest pick of all time." (I'm paraphrasing) Here collegue said..."it has to be a smoke screen, no way, no how that Palin has the experience to be a serious candidate".

An hour later when it was confirmed, both of these pundits were RAVING...."smartest pick ever".

I am still recovering from the whiplash of watching the 360 made by these folks.
