The spending spree, I get - it shows a lack of restraint or budgeting ability. It also flies in the face of her whole "aw, gosh, shucks, Jane-the-plumber" Gomer Pyle put-on.
But I agree about the towel thing - um, they came to her hotel room. It's not something I would've done, but it's not like she was nude or even scantily dressed. Why is that being brought up? I bet if she'd been Jack Palin and she'd met them at the door in a towel around her waist, nothing would've ever been said.
As for the rest, YES. They chose her. She was in a relatively safe position as governor of a state without too many people, where if she screwed up it was easy enough for those constituents to kick her out of office. There were other actual intelligent Republican women they could've chosen if they wanted to try to capture the Hillary demographic. They did not. They got exactly what they advised, they underestimated the masses BADLY, and they should pay for it. Karma works sometimes.
