McCain's Palin Problem

This story (published by the Nation) concludes with a question reasonalbe minds would like to like to know:

In the six months McCain had to make a vice presidential pick, couldn't he have sent a few more lawyers to Alaska? They seem to be vetting their candidate ex post facto. McCain wanted to select Joe Lieberman but was told such a move would destroy the Republican Party. So he went in the other direction, picking a completely unknown hardcore conservative with virtually no relevant political qualifications. And we wonder why controversy ensued.
