Cafferty File: Should McCain Consider Replacing Palin?

From the Cafferty File:

When it comes to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the hits just keep on coming.

Some of the latest revelations surrounding John McCain's surprise choice of a running mate: The Associated Press reports a private lawyer has been authorized to spend $95,000 dollars of state money to defend Palin in the trooper ethics probe. Contrary to her message of reform, Palin worked to get pork barrel projects for her city and state. Also, according to the A.P., her husband was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, some members in that group advocate that Alaska secede from the Union. Also, the boyfriend of Palin's 17-year-old unmarried pregnant daughter is expected to join the family at the GOP convention.

The McCain camp is pushing back hard, calling questions about Palin's background a "faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee" for V.P. and suggesting Palin is a victim of gender bias in the media. Where have we heard that before? They insist Palin was subject to a "long and thorough" vetting process. Really? The Washington Post reports that the head of McCain's vetting team didn't do an in-depth interview with Palin until the day before she was offered the number two slot.

Some are wondering if Sarah Palin could turn out to be another Harriet Miers, a vastly underqualified woman who was nominated by President Bush to become a Supreme Court Justice. Miers later had to withdraw her name from consideration. Gee... there's that parallel again.

No presidential candidate has withdrawn his V.P. pick since Democrat George McGovern in 1972. McGovern dropped Thomas Eagleton after 18 days as revelations surfaced about his mental health. Eagleton, too, had been a last minute pick.

Here's my question to you: Should John McCain consider replacing Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket?

Coale said he recommended creation of the legal defense fund, a common practice in Washington. The Web site for the Palin fund cites similar accounts created for Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and other prominent politicians.

Don't go there Cafferty your such a turd. An old grmpy uninformed TURD.. No Bama 08... CNN lefty land. Take a crap Cafferty your constipated all the way to your head. I know Sarah is scaring you-She is good you'll see. I don't think that the Lesbo Hillary NOW gang will vote for her. She has more experience that NO Bama. She ran something and ran it well. Vote McCain. I don't much like him either but most absolutely the better pick in 08 ...
