The extreme fascist wing that currently runs the Republican Party found a Mormon or a Jew to be unacceptable as Vice-President. McCain had to chose a candidate on the fly. He chose badly. Romney or Lieberman might have won him the White House.

I am wondering why such senior positions as CIA Director and NASA Administrator political appointments. I am not American but I would feel far more confident if these two positions belonged to senior permanent civil servants.
