tant personal relationships developed because of how seriously
most potential presidents take decisions about running
mates and Cabinet members.
That said, I cannot fathom how the McCain team approached
VP selection in 2008. If they had a similar process
in place, it must have been pushed aside by pressure from
pollsters and political advisers. The Sarah Palin record/family/temperament
surprises would have been known internally,
and removed her from consideration when viewed as a complete
picture.

What's it like to fly on Air Force
One?
Peter Marquez, Space policy geek.
It's awesome. I only got to fly on her once.
The staff is amazing, and after flying on AF1, you will
neVeR want to fly commercial again.
The experience starts before you even get on the plane.
You are transported from the White House to Andrews, and
you get to drive right up to the airplane and leave the vehicle
and walk up into the plane. (only the president and his close
staff get the Marine 1 transport to Andrews.)
It's very comfortable: huge seats, desks and tables for
working. A full conference room with flat screens and video
teleconferencing capability. There's a computer room with Internet
access.
one of the greatest things about AF1 has nothing to do
with the aircraft itself, it's the people that make AF1 run. All
of the AF1 staff appear to really enjoy their jobs, and they take
great pride in their work. It definitely appeared that none of
them took this great opportunity for granted. They are also
well-versed in the history of AF1 and can tell you stories about
all the previous AF1s.
