Palin Couldn't Remember Her Public Stance on Abstinence
Although Bailey acknowledges helping encourage the Palin veepstakes chatter by emailing with the Draft Palin bloggers, he was surprised when his boss is tapped to be John McCain's No. 2. "No question this would be an exciting choice, but did McCain and his people know just how exciting?" he writes, adding that very little to no vetting of Palin was conducted before she was chosen.

Bailey writes that in the early days of the campaign, the Alaska governor "went into a panic" because she didn't remember what her public stance on sex education was. Palin "ordered" him to examine the Alaska Family Council campaign survey from 2006 to find out whether she was in favor of abstinence-only education, he writes.

"When I found out Sarah had indicated she supported abstinence-until-marriage education and explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support, we realized an unwed pregnant daughter made that position potentially embarrassing. We focused on the word explicit to downplay Sarah's opposition."

She also wrote letters to the editor using other peoples names.

I'm looking forward to reading this book:

WTF. Hell, if someone asks me my opinion then they're gettin' it whether I'm right or wrong.

You know, in a way it's kind of unfortunate all this stuff about her is coming out now. If it could have waited until the middle of the primaries it would have been a hell of a lot more interesting.

2. The downward path for Sarah Palin grows steeper every day.
What a pity, eh?

She's no longer of concern as a viable candidate for national office. I hope we can help keep it that way.
