Let's put this in perspective. From the time McCain announced her as VP pick to the time Americans vote on Nov. 4, we will have had 66 full days to assess her capabilities to do the job. That's about four weeks shorter than a semester in college, seven months short of a pregnancy and 10 months shy of a year. Is that enough time? See more at:

I hate to tell you this, but people are both elected and hired with much less information. Some people are married with less time.
Also, because we don't know her, she is not unknown. She has a fairly thick public record.
