Thorough Vetting

The Syracuse Post-Standard has an interesting article this weekend on Auburn, NY native Meghan Stapleton, Palin's former speechwriter.

Friday, Stapleton, a former TV news anchor in Anchorage, was fielding calls from fellow reporters from all over the U.S., as well as urgent requests from the McCain campaign. "They (the McCain campaign) just called and said, 'Hey, can you write a summary statement on the governor's accomplishments?' " Stapleton said. "They don't' really have anybody up here to do this."

So the McCain folks, as of Friday when they were rolling out the Palin pick, didn't know enough to write a summary of Palin's accomplishments? Perhaps because McCain had only met her once before he picked her?
