McCain Vetter Defends Sarah Palin’s Review

Since John McCain introduced Sarah Palin last Friday as his VP running mate, Obama’s left-wing supporters have relentlessly trashed the youthful governor of Alaska. A major tactic of the Lefties has been faulting the vetting process used by Republicans in Palin’s selection. AP writer Liz Sidoti reports a McCain vetter’s defense of Palin’s review:

“ST. PAUL, Minn. - Sarah Palin voluntarily told John McCain's campaign about her pregnant teenage daughter and her husband's 2-decade-old DUI arrest during questioning as part of the Republican's vice presidential search, the lawyer who conducted the background review said.

“The Alaska governor also greatly detailed the dismissal of the state's public safety commissioner that has touched off a legislative investigation, Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr. told The Associated Press in an interview Monday.

‘“Palin underwent a ‘full and complete’ background examination before McCain chose her as his running mate, Culvahouse said. Asked whether everything that came up as a possible red flag during the review already has been made public, he said: ‘I think so. Yah, I think so. Correct.’

“McCain's campaign has been trying to tamp down questions about whether the Arizona senator adequately researched his surprise vice presidential selection or whether he chose the first-term governor without fully looking into her background.

‘“Nicolle Wallace, a senior McCain adviser, told ABC's ‘Good Morning America’ on Tuesday that Palin disclosed her daughter's pregnancy during the vetting process, and that the McCain campaign had been forced to reveal the pregnancy publicly Monday because of ‘lewd and outrageously false rumors’ spread by "Democratic-leaning blogs and a few in the mainstream’ media. She did not identify them.”’

Wallace could have listed the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post, left-wing Web sites that went all out in their efforts to destroy Hillary Clinton and are now leading the misogynous charge to take down Sarah Palin.
