The process is called vetting. Most people dislike the process because it's messy and they don't want things to be discovered. Sorta like our current president.
Lets see what happens.
Bullshit. "Vetting" is what a political party does before a candidate announces. Like, nobody mentioned that Santorum might have a problem with the late-term abortion his wife had while he was campaigning to ban late-term abortions. Or the problems he will have with his K-Street connections.
"Vetting" is a process in which a political party says, "Fuck you" to an unqualified candidate. Apparently the Republicans don't vet any more.
