He knew how dangerous Palin would be as president yet he placed her in a position where that could have very well happened. Personally I had respected him previous to that.

I guess I'm angry at him, though not much because I don't really see him as a disappointment. I certainly don't hate him. I think he's a morally weak and ambitious man who is probably seriously debilitated by his Vietnam experiences.
This doesn't excuse him but I don't think he knew very much at all about Palin when he agreed to having her as his running mate. She was the choice of the Neocons, particularly Bill Krystol who's had a stiffy for her for a while. The strategy was to pacify the far right who wanted Romney or Huckabee and thought McCain wasn't sufficiently wingnutty.
