McCain's choice bad for voters

John McCain has foisted an unknown politician on American voters with 
barely two months for her credentials to be revealed and considered. Now 
his campaign wants to silence questions with bullying worthy of Bill 
O'Reilly. 

If we think her resume – PTA, small-town mayor, 18 months as governor of 
our least populous state – looks a bit thin, Carly Fiorina shrieks sexism. 
If we question her judgment as a mother – shoving her pregnant daughter 
into the public eye – Steve Schmidt cries "trumped-up media scandal." 

Meanwhile, the facts of Palin's background that continue to trickle out 
are anything but reassuring. For an even-handed and balanced history of 
Palin's public life, written by a well-informed woman unafraid to come 
forward and give her name (despite the real danger of retaliation), check 
out:

This is not rumor or smear, but the details are sobering.

The real scandal here is McCain's attempt to pander for votes by putting 
such an unqualified candidate a heartbeat away from the presidency.
