One thing I will give her. She is more wholesome to look at than any VP I've ever seen.

This "breaking news" just came from ADN.
It is interesting how they can find that she abused her power in one instance and acted within her authority in another when the two are supposedly interconnected.

Report vindicates governor, Palin spokesman says Anchorage Daily News (10/10/08 18:29:14) Gov. Sarah Palin's communications director says investigator Steve Branchflower's report vindicates the governor with a finding that she "acted within her constitutional authority" to remove executive employees who serve at her pleasure. That is a reference to former public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. "However," said a statement issued about 6 p.m. by spokesman Bill McAllister, "along with several members of the Legislative Council, we question how Mr. Branchflower reached the conclusion that Governor Palin abused her power with respect to Trooper Mike Wooten." McAllister's statement says that finding involved speculation on Branchflower's part and assumptions that can't be supported by the evidence before him. The report should be considered "in total rather than relying solely on the findings," McAllister said. The governor's office also released depositions of seven state employees about internal administration discussions about Wooten. Read the full statement Source 5 |

This is all just political garboggle. Was this even an issue in Alaska before she decided to run as Mccain's leg?

I wouldn't doubt that. I'm sure that before they chose her Mccain and his gophers checked her out well enough to ensure this wouldn't be an issue.
