In light of recent revelations

[ksmith]

Given that when they smell blood, the press can actually do its job...

Does anyone out there think they could survive a real VP-level vetting? Or would you take a pass, either because you wouldn't want the intrusion or because there's stuff in your past that wouldn't pass muster (you don't need to say which, of course)?

I'm not attractive enough and I have no state or national-level political experience. I'm a messy housekeeper and a bookworm and strongly pro-environmental. I'm sure they could find someone from my past to say something harmful, but I'm not sure what would be on the juicy side things. God knows I'm not perfect, but my imperfections tend to be boring as well as annoying.

So I don't think I'd survive as a candidate but for different reasons than Palin. When I was on city council here, none of us got a salary (for instance), so none of us was worth bribing, and I'm the one who exposed an attempt at what I considered (and so did state law) undue influence.
