We all know the old adage "to buy a pig in a poke" which we use to underscore hopeless credulity.  One who buys such a pig does so without any inspection of the animal.  It's something one does on pure faith.
This is what the McCain campaign is asking us to do with regard to their VP pick. What should our answer be? Well, let's take a clue from McCain who criticized Obama for waiting so long to revisit Iraq.  Didn't someone construct a clock showing the number of days it had been since Obama made his first trip there?
What about putting a clock on Obama's website showing the number of days gone by since the Republican Convention and a press conference with Sarah Palin.  This would put great pressure on the McCain/Palin ticket and provide the basis for any number of attack lines: "Where is she?  Why is she hiding?  It's been X days and she still hasn't met with the press"; "Why is a pit bull afraid to respond to questions from the press," etc.
