Word 'round the campfire is that McCain had met Palin once, and talked to her once on the phone, before picking her as his running mate.
Kevin Drum has links a-plenty, and adds this thought:
This is all part of what I was talking about the other day when I noted that McCain is running such a palpably unserious campaign. Steve Schmidt seems solely interested in winning the daily news cycle; his staff spends its time gleefully churning out juvenile attack videos; McCain himself has retreated into robotic incantations of simpleminded talking points; and now he's chosen a manifestly unqualified VP that he knows nothing about. I've honestly never seen anything like it.
Drum starts off with serious misgivings about Palin's cluelessness about Iraq, too. Worth a read, for sure.
And speaking of unserious, here's Sarah Palin's blog. Unseriously.

Why is it troubling? Oh... you mean IF McCain gets elected. Well, sure. But I think we'll have even more to worry about than Palin if that happens. A lot more.
Actually, I meant troubling in the sense of a problem for her (and McCain) as a candidate.
I may have been concern-trolling on my own blog, I must admit.
