Check out this story on NPR about Sarah Palin's Wikipedia article. Someone made lots of changes to it—all the changes being favorable to her. What is really interesting is that the changes were made ONE DAY BEFORE McCain announcer her as his VP candidate.

There are only two possibilities to account for this.
1) Palin, or someone from the McCain camp made the changes on Wikipedia to make her look good. They did this knowing that few people outside of Alaska knew anything about her. Her Wikipedia article could be expected to get millions once McCain announced his selection. The edits were made with the intention of making a good impression on those who were just learning about her.
2) News of McCain's choice leaked to someone who wanted to make her look bad. Is it possible that the Democrats have a mole placed in McCain headquarters? If so, the mole could have made the changes, knowing that the changes would be discovered and that voters would assume that Palin or someone within the McCain camp did it in order to make her look good. Of course, Palin would look really bad if the voters thought she, or someone within the McCain camp were behind the edits.
Either way, this is a story that is worth watching. McCain is 72 years old, and it is very possible that he may not be able to serve out his term. There are already plenty of reasons to believe that Palin is not qualified to be President.
