    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Ross Douthat

    It was always painfully obvious to anyone with more than two functioning neurons that Palin was exactly what you seem surprised that she "turned out" to be: Nasty and not too bright. Choosing her as his running mate remains McCain's worst mistake.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1033531953721552896 …

    I also can't condemn McCain's choice of Palin in 2008 because I sort-of urged it upon him at the time. She was chosen to be something other than what she turned out to be, on the basis of a record that implied strengths she turned out to lack.

        She was only picked because she was a woman and they needed a token candidate. It was always meant as a cynical political move.

        When McCain chose Palin, and after hearing her speak, I knew then there was no way I could vote for him. Worst judgement call of the campaign.

        Had he not run such a bad campaign and not picked that nitwit as running mate, he might have been elected. And possibly spared us from Trump.

        I really liked McCain. The choice of Palin was indeed self-destructive.

        So he shouldn’t have just gone with his gut and picked Lieberman?

        Agreed, but recall that Palin got a huge push from conservative Washington pundits, especially @BillKristol, at least in part courtesy of fun boat cruises (Weekly Standard & National Review) to Juneau. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/10/27/the-insiders … Read whole story, there's much more detail.pic.twitter.com/cHaqjCODlQ
