LA TIMES

"One Republican strategist with close ties to the campaign described the candidate's closest supporters as "keeping their fingers crossed" in hopes that additional information does not force McCain to revisit the decision.

According to this Republican, who would discuss internal campaign strategizing only on condition of anonymity, the McCain team used little more than a Google Internet search as part of a rushed effort to review Palin's potential pitfalls.

Just over a week ago, Palin was not on McCain's short list of potential running mates, the Republican said."

3. 6 months to do this job, and he waits for the night before to do it

is McCain a senior citizen or a senior in high school?

5. I bet the googling turned up a lot of pretty pics..

6. So what is really going on here?

Did his first choice turn down the offer? Didn't he have a short list of thoroughly vetted candidates in case his offer was rejected?

Was this an act of desperation after Obama's convention speech?

I predict that she will drop out, blaming it on the way those "evil liberals" are treating her family.
