Apparently, McCain had to reject some more experienced and influential
candidates due their abortion stance, opposed by the anti-abortion
constituents of GOP.

When he met Palin, McCain was very impressed. ``He had his first
face-to-face interview with her on Thursday and offered her the job
moments later.''

"Confiscating wealth from those who have earned it, inherited it,
or got lucky is never going to help 'the poor.' Poverty isn't
caused by some people having more money than others, just as obesity
isn't caused by McDonald's serving super-sized orders of French fries
Poverty, like obesity, is caused by the life choices that dictate
results." - John Tucci,
