The story is good, and well researched. It is neither an attack on Gov Palin, nor an indictment of Sen McCain. It raises the singular question of when and how well the Senator's campaign vetted the woman he named to be his running mate. The lack of vetting leaves this candidacy in a precarious state. Stories about Gov Palin continue to come out as they are unveiled primarily by the press. The RNC and the McCain campaign get left playing catch-up and are in reactive mode. Initially, the stories about Palin appear to be clarifying her intensely right-wing ideological position and her religious stance. These ideological concerns appear to be firing up both bases, the right in favor and the left in firm disapproval. What is still to be seen, however, are the character issues that may arise surrounding Gov Palin, and it is these, I am guessing, that are going to be the more determinative toward the outcome of the presidential campaign.
