You are dead wrong! She is not ready for prime time in this troubled world.

How Closely Has McCain himself been vetted?

John McCain and his advisors have displayed an appalling lack of judgment in choosing Sara Palin to join him as his Vice-Presidential nominee. He is living on borrwed time. In the days since his selection of Governor Palin there have been numerous references to her being “just a heartbeat from assuming the awesome duties and responsibilities of the oval office”. In this instance nothing could be closer to the truth.

Five years ago the Senator was operated upon for melanoma ostensibly in the region of the left cheek. The pathology reports emanating from the surgery are at best unclear. Melanoma is a particularly serious form of epithelial carcinoma. The five-year cure rate for melanomas in this area is around 11-15%. Most melanomas of the cheek area are metastases from local areas that spread via parotid and paraparotid lymphatic channels. ie. scalp, face, and ear, among others. Involvement of the parotid gland itself is rare.

For this reason the American people have a right to know the precise histopathological details associated with Senator McCain’s melanoma.

As a reputable news organization you should thoroughly research this situation.

We have right t know. The doctors associated with his surgery must be vetted themselves.
