You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

Yeah, I remember there was low-grade buzz about Palin months ago and then when the ethics issue came along, people basically said that she was now out of contention. And yet here we are.

It's possible the McCain people have really really done their homework and are convinced this will blow over, for sure. But it amazes me that they'll even take that chance, even if it's not that big.

I wonder if this was one of those choices-by-committee that no one was really behind. Or McCain's pick alone over wishes of advisors? A compromise between him wanting Lieberman and them wanting Romney or Pawlenty? Unlike with the Obama campaign, I just have no confidence here that this decision was arrived at in any complete and rational way.
