McCain Didn't Even Know Palin Before Picking Her

According to Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd, John McCain had only met Sarah Palin once or twice before selecting her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Also, earlier today McCain's campaign chairman Sen. Lindsay Graham admitted that he had never met Palin, and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison also said that she didn't know much about Palin.

So not only is America getting to know McCain's VP, but so is John McCain. That's downright scary. A total lack of judgment.

Here's video:

Update (2:50PM): Conservative Ramesh Ponnuru praises Palin for being a pro-life woman, but slams McCain for making a "reckless" choice given his age. Ponnuru also questions whether "they would work well together" given that they don't know each other.
