WHY DID the Democrats spend 10 million $ on research of Republican VP candidates.?

Question

The Democrats never saw this one coming. They where completely broadsided, Know they are in the re-planning mode

Answer 1

I know, isn't it great? They're concentrating on how to dig up dirt on Palin, so they can make their messiah look like the savior again. We all know who's winning in November, and it ain't the black and white ticket!

Answer 2

Palin has a proven track record of good results.  She's results oriented.  Obama should be the last person to investigate anybody.  Obama has a track record of being a con.  It first started with Alice Palmer.  Obama is screwed.  McCain has solidified his republican base along with 40 million evangelicals with some Hillary voters.  Obama can't even solidify his base to even con himself.

Answer 3

To dig up dirt

Answer 4

Source please.

Answer 5

Because they were doing their HOMEWORK, so they could have plan A, plan B, plan C, etc. Too bad McCain didn't do his research on her.

Sources (below) indicate they at least knew she was among the possibilities. Anybody who reads blogs can figure that out (and that doesn't cost $10 million) - the possibility that they might nominate Palin was a hot topic on the blogs as soon as Biden was nominated.
