Obama's people even had trouble with Biden, but it didn't seem like they had as much trouble as McCain's people.

Sometimes I get the feeling they prepped her but she ended up trying to do her own thing.
On what may be a random note, I actually felt sorry for Palin at times. Mind you I didn't care for her as a VP pick. What I didn't like about the way the McCain campaign handled her was that they never really meant for her to be a true partner. I think they wanted someone who was young and attractive and who would fade into the spotlight and not be in the way.
