Sarah Palin and John McCain's Courtship Detailed In Emails

Sarah Palin and John McCain's Courtship Detailed In Emails: "NEW YORK -- Long before the glory days of the Republican convention, the exultant crowds greeting them in venues across the country, the sniping and backtalk in the heat of the campaign and the post-defeat blame game, Sarah Palin and John McCain were engaged in a subtle courtship dance, much of which is revealed in the email document dump released today by the state of Alaska.

Months before Senator McCain picked her as his running mate, then-Governor Palin was privately expressing interest in the post. In an email sent on June 4, 2008, her aide Ivy Frye noted that McCain was being pushed to choose Palin for the VP slot.

'The second and third articles I've seen on vp buzz just today,' wrote Frye. 'Pretty cool.'"
