McCain’s ‘Thorough’ Vetting of Sarah Palin Began Last Wednesday

Andy Towle September 3, 2008

Yesterday, at a campaign stop at Engine Company 56 of the Philadephia Fire Department, McCain talked up the campaign's research on Sarah Palin: “The vetting process was completely thorough, and I'm grateful for the results.”

MccainAnd WaPo‘s ‘The Trail' adds: “His aides have said nothing has emerged in news reports about Palin that McCain and the campaign did not know before selecting her, including that her 17-year-old daughter Bristol was pregnant.”

Which isn't false, however:

Today, the WaPo reports: “Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was not subjected to a lengthy in-person background interview with the head of Sen. John McCain's vice presidential vetting team until last Wednesday in Arizona, the day before McCain asked her to be his running mate, and she did not disclose the fact that her 17-year-old daughter was pregnant until that meeting, two knowledgeable McCain officials acknowledged Tuesday.”

Sullivan notes: “If this is how John McCain picks the person who would replace him in an emergency, imagine how stable and rational a decision-maker he'd be in the White House.”
