I've got a question as well, which all the pro-Tara folks are welcome to join in on too...
So the 2008 Obama campaign was a historical moment in history. The Obama team were professionals and well understood the need for careful vetting and the catastrophe the failure to properly vette the VP nominee would be. Unforseen disclosures can wreck a political campaign- see Thomas Eagleton to see exactly how that can work.
A friend of mine is the older brother of someone who was very involved in the Obama campaign and later worked in the Administration. So I know they left no stone unturned when they searched for possible skeletons in Biden's past. Had there been a Tara Reade story- Biden would never have been the VP nominee...
Now you may not accept that. But so then my question to the Tara fans is why didn't the McCain team, specifically the Palin Brigade discover this juicy nugget? Had Palin uncovered even a hint of scandal, don't you think THAT would have been the time to break the story? Palin debated Biden 1 on 1, she needed a miracle to try and turn the race completely around, and she never mentioned even a rumour about a sexual harassment incident in Biden's past?
