I’m curious how a guy with McCain’s history decided on Palin.
McCain first met Palin only six months ago and had just one conversation with the Alaska governor before offering her the vice presidential slot on the Republican ticket, the Arizona senator’s campaign said Friday.

When I ask if he picked her out of a hat I am being a bit facetious, of course. But if I was running for president, no matter how much I read and no matter how much my staff vetted the person I’d want to have several heart-to-hearts before giving the someone the chance to be the next in line to run the country. But more preferable, I’d like to have known the person long enough to understand her. When I was in college I had six or seven interviews before getting a job a Budweiser brewery, and that was for a job picking up bottles that fell onto their side on the conveyor belt.
So the question becomes, what went into McCain’s pick and why did he choose her?
