Oops…
Woman’s intuition – something McCain was looking for (ok maybe he just wanted a woman), didn’t have himself (no vetting done!) and won’t be finding in Alaska.
More on this at the Huffington Post.
Update…
Someone should have told the McCain-Palin Campaign Communication Director though. Jill Hazelbaker can be heard struggling to remember all the countries that Palin has visited. The campaign contacted NPR later to add Ireland to the list.
