How do you think Palin will fare at a *real* press conference for a
couple of hours where *real* reporters ask the usual sort of tough
questions?

Or, do you think McCain will let her have such an event?

I don't think he'll be able to avoid it. So far, I don't see anything
that will disqualify her, depending on the results of the trooper
investigation. However, I can't for the life of me, see what she brings
to the ticket. And her vetting? McCain's campaign is starting to look
amateurish.

You mean, *legally* disqualify her? You're probably right, though that
troopergate mess might spit out something serious, such as perjury, if
she lies to the official investigators.

What she brings to McCain's campaign is a bone to throw to the
simple-minded evangelicals. She's the bone. They eat her up because,
well, she is so very "righteous" to them.

If it is true, as it has been reported, that McCain only met her once,
and briefly, before making the phone call inviting her on the ticket,
then he, indeed, is an amateur.
