Fun While It Lasted

Senator John McCain announced his VP pick on August 29, 2008. By September 26, interviews with Sarah Palin revealed a candidate who many described as sorely lacking in substance. 

One conservative columnist admitted she began to cringe even before the Governor started an interview. Citing an example of "filling space with deadwood," she offered this quote from Palin: 

“Well, there is a danger in allowing some obsessive partisanship to get into the issue that we’re talking about today. And that’s something that John McCain, too, his track record, proving that he can work both sides of the aisle, he can surpass the partisanship that must be surpassed to deal with an issue like this.”

Just shy of one month into the nomination, calls for Palin to bow out slacked a few jaws. As it turned out, it was only the beginning of a fascinating saga.
