Cafferty: Was Palin Properly Vetted to Be VP?

From the Cafferty File:

There's a growing sense that John McCain may not have done all his homework before making his V.P. pick.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is now grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons: her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant.Palin has hired a private lawyer in the trooper probe ethics investigation. She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. Palin appeared at a convention of the Alaska Independence Party — which tried to get votes on whether the state should secede from the union. Her husband was arrested 22 years ago on a DUI. And, although Palin is now railing against earmarks, she got hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for local projects as both governor and as mayor of Wasilla.

There's more. What about her foreign policy credentials? CNN's Campbell Brown repeatedly asked McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds last night why Palin is ready to be commander-in-chief, what qualifications she has, and to name one foreign policy decision Palin has made -- Campbell never got an answer. It's reported that Palin may have only traveled overseas once, last year to Germany and Kuwait.

This has all led many to wonder how thorough of a vetting the Alaska governor got. McCain only met with Palin once and had one phone conversation with her before offering her the job. It raises serious questions about the kind of judgment McCain would use as president to make other big decisions.

Here's my question to you: Was Governor Sarah Palin properly vetted before being named John McCain's V.P.?

Man I love Cafferty. He runs on pure anger.

[edrammeh]

I can't believe your defending that wife. How can you defend that interview? How can you defend her argument pertaining to her foreign policy exp.? She can't name a newspaper or magazine she would read? What did she say in the 2nd Katie interview? "I hope Americans will privilege us..." She can't even survive on the national scene. When do you think her next interview will be? This is a shameful tragedy.

What does a DUI have to do with anything?

[Slayerfan84]

Of course not McCain picked this broad because, A. He thought he could attract Hilary Supporters. B. She does have HOT Legs! And C. she is officially a Governor. Well at least she was until she decided to quit and give up on those who supported and Voted for her! .
