more on McCain's Palin pic

Nothing adequately explains why McCain would allow Palin to wait until the start of the convention to drop the news. This was supposed to be her moment, the debut of a fresh breeze to revive a perceptibly dispirited Republican base.

And before she even got warmed up, she became the object of gossip and bad jokes -- will she use her moose rifle or shotgun to encourage a reluctant son-in-law to the altar?

No one can be certain how another potential Palin scandal will play out. She's highly touted for her ethics, but is accused of firing an Alaskan public safety commissioner for not firing her sister's ex-husband.

Another state trooper, the step-father of Palin's nephew, is under investigation for using a taser on the boy.
