"Troopergate" Probe Finds GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Unlawfully Abused Authority In Firing State Employee
(AP) Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.
With McCain already trailing in the polls, what impact do you think this will have?

and most people are going to vote on their pocket book this year.
Yes, the economy is the chief issue, but I'm not sure about this report on Palin having little impact.
The media have been salivating just thinking about getting something on Palin. Unless something major surfaces against Obama before November, I think this may be the sinking of McCain's ship.
This report may not move the numbers a lot, but with where they are now, it will not take much of a move to destroy McCain's numbers.

Wait a minute, wait a minute , wait a minute..... nice try , but no cigar
Lets take a look at the report shall we :
"The investigation revealed that Todd Palin has extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers. He used that access to try to get trooper Wooten fired, the report found."
Soooo, the husband was doin the dirty deeds, not Sarah. Hmmmmm...
"Sarah Palin "abused her power" as governor in the disciplinary case against a state trooper, according to a legislative panel's report released Friday, though it also found that her firing of a state commissioner was "proper and lawful."
Ummmm ...... WHAT ????.. she abused her power ...oh but , not in the case at hand. yeah, ok.
"The ethics inquiry, which Palin's supporters have called politically motivated, found that a family grudge was a factor in Palin's dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan -- but not the sole factor."
Ohhhh, now I get it. If someone messes up I can fire them, but I have to like them. Find another story, this one smells a little .......

Whoa Hoss, you really didn't look into this one before speaking, did you?
First, the Troopergate investigation began BEFORE Palin was chosen as McCain's VP.
Second, as far you claiming it is "politically motivated"; please explain how that works since the Troopergate panel consisted of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats?

I'm sure they're just fake Republicans or something. This HAD to be politically motivated.

Dont see what your point is, the above statement has absolutly nothing to do with any of my post.
Second, as far you claiming it is "politically motivated"; please explain how that works since the Troopergate panel consisted of 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats?
I did not say it is "politically motivated". Again, I copy pasted that paragraph from the news article.
