Wow. I think this speaks more to McCain's senility that it does to Mitt Romney's problems. I'm not a Romney fan, but I would take him any day over Sarah Palin. McCain really shit the bed with his VP pick. He wasn't likely to win the presidency anyway, but adding Palin to the ticket guaranteed it.

maybe McCain saw something on Romney's tax returns that made Palin look like the smaller liability. Be willing to bet Romney gave McCain more than two years of returns.
