1. Palin was chosen for him.
And based on their body language, I'm sensing they really can't stand each other.

3. reportedly, it was William Kristol that started pushing Palin.
Chief neo-con. They take someone who is a blank slate, such as W., and fill the person's mind with neo-con claptrap and then back the person all the way.

4. they told him she would bring him the Hillary women
it was probably being pushed on him before but he wanted to pick Ridge or Lieberman. but i think they convinced him he only had a chance with her.

8. The fundies told him he had to pick her to get their votes
If it weren't for "Bible Spice," they'd stay home on election day.
