"why did John McCain choose her so rapidly? Why didn’t he float the name much earlier so all this stuff could be thrashed out to find out if she’s really suited to it?" McCain did vet and research Palin before choosing her. Just because most people didn't predict he'd go with Palin, didn't mean he wasn't researching and investigating her. He simply did it in a quiet manner (which ended up working out brilliantly when he announced her as the VP selection). "I’m not American, I can’t vote, but those seem like very important questions to me. Judge your future leaders not just for themselves, but who they choose to surround themselves with" I agree with everything you are saying. So far we've found that Obama has associated himself with former (and unapologetic) terrorist Bill Ayers, and controversial (read: anti-american) preacher Jeremiah Wright. Keeping that in mind, who do you think surrounds themselves with better people? Furthermore, on the couple occassions that members of McCain's circle have been found to do something controversial, McCain has immediately denounced and separated himself from them. You can't say the same or Obama who didn't see anything terribly wrong with Wright's statement until weeks after everyone was harping on about it. As for Bruce...Congratulations on making that big step!! I don't blame you for not doing it earlier, I myself as an up-and-coming conservative (I'm only 27) have often found myself being frustrated and embarrassed over numerous blunders by Republican representatives. However, it's conservatives like Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal (who made sure Gustav wouldn't be a repeat of Katrina) who give me some hope and encouragement for the future of the party. to charles; just a couple points…
