Where is Sarah Palin?

John McCain is busy consulting with his rich CEO friends about the financial meltdown on Wallstreet:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain met Wednesday with a panel of business executives to seek their opinions on the Bush administration's proposed $700 million bailout of U.S. financial markets.
(snip)
Flanking McCain were former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, his one-time rival for the GOP presidential nomination, and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. Others in the meeting were John Chambers, CEO of Cisco Systems, and John Thain, the CEO of Merrill Lynch before it was acquired by Bank of America earlier this month for a much-reduced value.

Yep, the usual suspects.

But where exactly is Sarah Palin in all this? Why isn't John McCain consulting her on this crisis? Isn't she his running mate? Is it because she is completely ignorant about the economy?

Can we really trust John McCain with the future of this nation when he can't even pick a semi-educated running mate whom he can call upon in a time of crisis?
