"I really hope McCain did his homework, I cannot stifle a growing sense of unease that he didn't."

LA Times
"I really hope McCain did his homework," said David Frum, a former speechwriter for President Bush. "I cannot stifle a growing sense of unease that he didn't."

A former McCain adviser, Mike Murphy, said Monday that it remains an open question whether "the running mate in a good or bad way becomes a window into the skills of the nominee."

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.

6. Well, he was busy, with the Convention and all,

and left it to volunteers to vet his prospective running mates....

Us :-)

Since I'm sure it's been hard to get all those signs fixed up now that he has a running mate, I figured I'd volunteer to help with that, too:

10. McCain had better hope the "Hannah" kicks up to a cat 4 to give

him cover while he decides what to do next. This whole Republican Convention and VP pick has taken on an unreal turn of events.

7. He Doesn't Even Know How To Use The Internet

How the hell can he do his homework?

8. That egghead Murphy loved this pick on Friday. But, then he was groveling for crumbs at the table.

Not even McCain wants anything to do with him this year.

9. These people can't run a campaign ... They certainly can't run the country.

11. CNN said McCain himself vetted Mrs. Palin...

and right there's yer problem!
What's that old phrase "Trust me! I know what I'm doing".

The Straight to Hell Express just snatched total defeat from jaws of victory.
