I heard his closest advisors were not pushing her ...
I think if they had their way it woulda been safe TPaw
Grahamnesty was pushing Pruneface - Mccain had enuff sense to not listen to him.
This was probably Mccain's choice and yes ...
I agree with CF and Rubystars and DOX etc ..the fact that she's a woman
was the major factor.
But I think Palen also pushed all the right buttons for Mccain.
Conservative, Bright, Energy issues, Women vote, Historic Achievement, Change. Reform, blah blah blah....
