"Even MORE interesting, did McSame know?"

Despite the claim of the campaign, I doubt it.

As Josh Marshall points out, the usual way something like this is handled is the campaign approaches a reporter with the story and a prepared statement. Instead, it sort of dribbled out like it was being kept a secret. I gather it was printed in a London paper before they made any statements at all.

If they did any vetting at all, they would have known about the pregnancy. If they have any competent staffers, they would have prepped statements and how to get the information public before the decision was made, just in case.

Which means they did very little, if any, vetting of Palin. And that calls into question the judgment of McCain. Not that I expect there to be any major skeletons in Palin's closet. But the last thing in the world any campaign needs is surprises. Even small ones can distract.
