The most shocking thing about McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin is that he only met her once or twice before deciding that she was qualified to serve as the most powerful leader on Earth.
Now, he’s asking us to get to know her in fewer than 70 days.
As conservative Andrew Sullivan writes to a conflicted McCain supporter:
This isn’t just about the number of days Obama or Palin have been in office. Since breaking onto the national stage Obama has given countless print, radio, and television interviews. He has been bombarded with criticism and praise until a sketch of the man could be draw from the stack of clippings. I’ve only seen a handful of Palin interviews. And I’ve little to no idea about her judgment or what she thinks about the issues. And I don’t know that McCain knows her much better than I do. If voters had found Obama, his experience, or his policies wanting, they had a chance to reject him. They approved. Only McCain has approved of Palin.
In Palin’s next national interview, I’d like to see her asked, “just how many times did you speak to McCain about the position prior to being selected?”
Job applicants for even the most entry-level positions typically endure several face-to-face interviews. How many did Palin have with McCain?
McCain’s pick is a roll of the dice. His first executive decision was extremely irresponsible one.
