What a remarkable coincidence.

I wonder how that will turn out. Clear her, condemn her, or be ambiguous, but I reckon by that time most people will have made up their minds.
It makes the choice of Palin seem very odd. Choosing someone who is currently under investigation for unethical behaviour, with the result as yet unknown. High risk.

It actually might work out beautifully for him. Choose a running mate with possible issues that might force a resignation, including legal and/or family issues. Get elected. Either the family issue or the legal issue prompts VP to resign. Appoint the VP you originally wanted, but who couldn't get you elected.

Say hello to VP Lieberman in 18 months.

This would explain why McCain picked her while knowing about the investigation and her daughters pregnancy.

F***ing brilliant.
