“Alaskans deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders. It’s a philosophy
I will promote as Governor.”
-Sarah Palin
Hmm… She has now refused be deposed in the independent investigation (approved by 6 Republicans and 6 Democrats 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats) looking into the unethical pressure she put on members of Alaska’s Department of Public Safety to fire Mike Wooten, her ex-brother-in-law in the middle of a custody dispute. And she filed an ethics complaint against herself in an effort to avoid the investigation. Clearly “Ms. Smith Goes To Washington” won’t be the title of the movie script written about her. Scoffing at the rule of law seem just like someone we all know: the Worst. President. Ever. – George W. Bush. She’s tested the corrupt Republican waters, and they feel just fine.
Remember, on July 29th, 2008, Palin’s spokesperson said:
“The governor has said all along that she will fully cooperate with an investigation and her staff will cooperate as well,” Leighow said.
Not anymore. More of the same.

I still think Obama is gonna win but the Palin pick has energized the conservative base enough that they will actually come out and vote, which means the HUGE losses I was predicting down the ballot (in the Senate and House races) won’t be as big as I previously thought.
But as a whole I still think the GOP ticket is still swimming upstream against a general mood for change in leadership.

Well Obama is going to have to come up with a strong response to the consistent lying and smearing going on over there with “honorable” John McCain and vindictive running-mate, or I’m not sure what’s going to happen. Seems pretty clear that McCain gave the go-ahead to do anything to win. Pretty pathetic considering that Bush/Rove did it to him.
