Republicans are bending over backward to talk up Sarah Palin in the face of mounting questions about her record, her family, her experience as revelations continue to trickle out and speculation builds as to whether she was sufficiently vetted by the McCain campaign before being tapped to run for VP. Rep. Pete King called her a "renaissance women" this morning. Rudy Giuliani touted her as an independent battler of corruption while speaking to the Missouri delegation this afternoon. But so far former Ambassador John Bolton is the only one I've heard to be so proud of Palin and her skills as an outdoorswoman as to propose a hunting contest between the Alaska governor and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, whose tiger-shooting exploits recently made international news.
