What pick would have received a fair shake?
You protested the degree of ridicule that Palin's nomination garnered (much of it, as I noted earlier, from conservatives). No other potential VP choice would have gained such ridicule because no other potential candidate was/is so clearly unfit for such responsibilities, with the notable exception of Joe the Plumber, of course.
Jindal, Lieberman, Lugar, Graham, Warner, Sununu, Specter, Romney, Hagel, Voinovich, Guiliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Powell, McConnel, Hutchinson, Dole, Boehner, Grassley, Sessions, Martinez, Snow, Collins, Bond, thune etc etc
