What the Palin pick says about McCain: he lacks integrity

I'm not going to jump conclusions about Sarah Palin. It bothers me that so many people have already made up their minds about every qualification of someone 99% of them hadn't heard of three days ago, based on nothing more than which party she's affiliated with.
What bothers me very much, though, is that it tells us John McCain's primary attacks on Senator Obama's - his "readiness to lead" - are based on no principle at all, save that he thought it would help him win. It's the worst part of politics, if you ask me, and I hate that it's so blatant here and that we're apparently willing to put up with it.
