MCCAIN MET PALIN ONCE BEFORE YESTERDAY?

The tick-tock from McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker:
"John McCain first met Governor Sarah Palin at the National Governors
Association meeting in Washington in February of 2008 and came away
extraordinarily impressed. John McCain followed her career and admired
her tenacity and her many accomplishments. She was scheduled for a high
profile speaking role at our convention and included in the VP
selection process because of his admiration for her strong reform
credentials. Last Sunday, Governor Palin and John McCain had a
conversation over the phone. Governor Palin was at the Alaska State
Fair, and John McCain was at his home at Phoenix. Previously, Rick
Davis, John McCain’s campaign manager, had also been in regular contact
with the Governor as part of the on-going selection process. This past
week, Governor Palin arrived with Kris Perry in Flagstaff, Arizona, on
Wednesday evening. Upon arrival, Governor Palin and her longtime aide
Kris Perry met with Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter of the McCain
campaign at Mr. Bob Delgado’s home in Flagstaff. Mr. Delgado is the CEO
of the Hensley corporation, which is Mrs. Cindy McCain’s family
business. On Thursday morning, Governor Palin and staff were joined by
Mrs. Cindy McCain and later joined by John McCain at the McCain family
home in Sedona, Arizona. At approximately 11:00 a.m. Thursday August
28, 2008, John McCain formally invited Governor Sarah Palin to join the
Republican ticket as the vice presidential nominee on the deck of the
McCain family home."
