Rather than Vetting Palin, McCain Will Orchestrate a Cover-Up of Her Abuse of Power | PEEK | AlterNet (http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/97943/ - broken link)
This explains how he chose Palin: I make [decisions] as quickly as I can, quicker than the other fellow, if I can. Often my haste is a mistake, but I live with the consequences without complaint. -- John McCain
Before the fate of the national Republican Party depended on it, Governor Palin had happily agreed to cooperate with the probe and insisted (http://www.ktva.com/commissionercontroversy/ci_10206518 - broken link) she had never asked Walt Monegan, the guy she eventually fired, into firing her ex-brother-in-law Mike Wooten.
To tell you that, truth is, that no pressure was ever put on anybody to fire anybody.&nbsPp;
[snip]
We never had a conversation on whether trooper Wooten should be a trooper or not.
That was before several things happened. First, in mid-August a tape of a conversation between Palin aide Frank Bailey and Monegan came out--it revealed Bailey did pressure Monegan to fire Wooten.
And then, a few weeks after that, Palin got picked as John McCain's running mate. Shortly thereafter, Walt Monegan showed the WaPo emails written from Governor Palin's personal Yaho account complaining about Wooten.
"This trooper is still out on the street, in fact he's been promoted," said a Feb. 7, 2007, e-mail sent from Palin's personal Yahoo account and written to give Monegan permission to speak on a violent-crime bill before the state legislature. "It was a joke, the whole year long 'investigation' of him," the e-mail said. "This is the same trooper who's out there today telling people the new administration is going to destroy the trooper organization, and that he'd 'never work for that b****', Palin'.)"
First, she lied about hers--and her husband's--non-involvement in pressuring Monegan.
And, just as troubling, Todd Palin was intimately involved, both in direct conversations with Monegan and getting cc'ed on emails discussing the issue.
(The WaPo reports that Todd regularly gets cc'ed on his wife's emails and sits in on state meetings.)

After just watching Governor Palin on CSPAN debating the former Governor one week before the election, it's clear to me that Senator McCain's judgment was right on point.
At this very moment, Obama is bashing the bridge to nowhere at AARP which happened to be on the Alaskan Governor's debate.
Palin's only "support" was to say she would not stand in the way of progress, of the previous Governor's and voters choice for the bridge "WITHIN MY FIRST 72 HOURS OF BEING ELECTED." There were timeframes involved with the ALREADY APPROVED PROJECT and it made perfect sense.
Sometimes it's good to actually see the real words and context that is being thrown around, not just MSM spin in favor of the Messiah.

She likes pork.
oink, oink.
I would've thought lipstick on a pig would be more fitting as opposed to a pitbull.

That was Funny.
Yes, she did support the bridge and only backed out when the media picked up the story and people started protesting.
Sarah is obviously a very different person when the media is not around and nobody is looking.
REALITY: PALIN ONLY ANNOUNCED OPPOSITION TO ONE “BRIDGE TO NOWHERE,” STILL SUPPORTS THE OTHER ONE
Palin Refused to Fund Ketchikan Bridge, But Did Not Stop Funding for Knik Arm Bridge.“Among the earmarks: $449 million for what critics have ridiculed as two ‘bridges to nowhere’ — one in Ketchikan and one across Knik Arm in Anchorage formally named Don Young’s Way. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, also a Republican, last month refused to use any more money for the Ketchikan project, redirecting it for other purposes.” [Anchorage Daily News,11/11/07]
