The story is now about JUDGMENT.

[DemsUnited]

John McCain's judgment in picking a embarrassingly obvious unvetted candidate he had met only once, "soul mate" or not.

Sarah Palin's judgment for accepting the nod knowing she was throwing her oldest daughter into the lion's den.

From there, we can go onto all kinds of judgment issues. For Palin: troopergate, bridge to nowhere, bizarre going into labor story, the list is large and constantly growing.

For McCain: well, actually, this VP pick is so stupendously lacking in judgment, I can't really top it right now. Help me out!

1. You know, I hadn't thought about Palin choosing political gain over her daughter's privacy.

That makes her the villain instead of the eeeeeevil librul bloggosphere.

And really, is her ego so inflated that she felt she was the only person qualified for the job? Why would you put your kid in the crosshairs of public scrutiny like that, otherwise?

3. K+R...agreed this opens the door to everything.

4. Let's not forget the fact that Palin loathes at least two of our states

She believed that Texas and Washington are so despicable, so vile and unworthy, that she risked the life of her child JUST to avoid having the names of either of those states on his birth certificate. How can someone lead the United States of America if they hate a significant portion of our country?
