    Yep, you read that right. From Andrew Halcro's excellent blog on Alaska politics, comes this:
    Vetting the Veep...post announcementThe campaign of John McCain has sent a staff of eight people into Alaska to conduct background checks and vetting on Governor Sarah Palin. 

    Word is they have have eight rooms reserved at a Wasilla hotel.

    I guess I'll keep this short too, because really, what can anyone say at this point? Please read the comments at the Walcro blog. One person suggests McCain's team may really be there for other reasons:
    If there are 8 McCain operatives in Wasilla at this point it would be better to suppose they were spin-doctors, records scrubbers, pay-off artists and a host of other types to ensure nothing upsets the applecart in which the unvetted choice is riding.
