I'm sure he had "advisors" on the issue. . . I doubt we will ever know who they are, or whose decision was the "final one"

If anybody is causing trouble it is the campaign advisors that do not know their place.

I'm not sure what polls you're looking at, but 99% of all the major polls have Obama leading. The only polls that are extremely close are NC & OH.

Palin is a real life Halloween scare story. She is Jason in drag.

Well all this points out that even people in McCain's campaign believe Sarah Palin is not qaulified for the Job. To them its all about beating Barack Obama.

I'm loving the internal fighting. Oops. It's not internal no more. It's out in the open. How can you trust a campaign/administration that is fighting with each other to lead this nation? Heck, it's a war going on in the McCain campaign. I bet you the"October surprise" will be nothing for either camps. But from some video footage froom some news station of McCain going "rouge" on Palin. OoO Boy I can't wait.

Read about Palin's selection at the link below. Harry Truman's "The
Buck Stops Here" comment applies to McCain. He made the final decision.

The only worse choice McCain could have made would have been Michelle Bachman.
