A Fundie bumble

With the news about Sarah Palin's unwed pregnant daughter and a growing scandal about state troopers (details elsewhere) on top of her seeming inexperience one wonders if she was properly vetted for the job of VP. Now it appears she wasn't. The Fundies threw a hissy fit when it appeared McCain was about to select either Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman, both pro-choice. A convention floor fight was promised. So McCain capitulated and scrambled to pick Palin. Which means he's not the maverick he claims and is beholden to the Fundies. It also means he bumbled his first major presidential decision.
