It just shows what kind of VP she would be, she is vindictive, not a maverick

Absolutely. This shows how Sarah Palin governs. It doesn't matter if its ethical, only if it suits her professional OR personal needs.

She is as corrupt as they come, she abuses her powers, hires her cronys, & if you disagree with her she will ruin you, sound familiar? BUSH

Just more proof that she is more of the same - exactly the same kind of VP that Cheney has been, I'm kind of tired of it myself.

    When you run on transperency, reform, outsder, non-Washington platforms, you better be able to back it up. She does not.

    In two respects. 1. Enough facts to support the allegations. 2. Her failure to follow through with her promise to cooperate with inquiry

    Any "gate" seems to have a damaging reaction to any politician but Palin doesn't have the national recognition to overcome it

    Although some damage is already done, this calls into question her truthfulness, making her claims against Obama even less credible.

    She ABUSED HER POWER. Whether she broke the law is irrelevant. What IS relevant is Palin's character. She is unethical and wunworthy.

    She abused her power & violated ethics laws. In what world does that not damage on'e reputation? Todd's role in this is most disturbing!

    "Sinister" Sarah is GUILTY of abuse of power, just like her running mate. We can't trust her ever with power as she will violate our trust!

    Not only does it show she has poor judgment in terms of her own abuse of the office, it also brings to light her husband's undue influence.

    i havent met a women i dispise as much as her since high school.  She use her looks to get what she wants, why not her office.. the only reason she has that office is becuz theres nothing in alaska but horney men.  cmon people if we let an alaskan gov in the office, might as well keep the old texas one.  they both work for big oil...

      Her religious beliefs dictate that she must defer to her husband in all things.That is Pentecostal Mantra.Since we will actually be having her husband as the VP it is scary.Not only that her views about birth control and failing to teach her own children the facts,considering how much she charged her state while at home is shocking, her abuse of power and the focus on the faulty no child left behind.NO TEACHERS ADVOCATE this program it is a disruption and focuses attention on special needs children and is leaving all children behind in the Race for Educating all our children.Special needs children need special care and special Education and teacher who are taught to deal with the needs of those who are afflicted.Riding on the wagon of SPENDING and wearing clothes that cost more than the annual typical JOE THE PLUMBER income is disgusting.

      John McCain saying he understands the working class family is hilarious as his household income was in the 5 million range.That is why he doesn't want to tax the rich because he is one of them.I saw an add about how this (actor) small business owner was about to hire 30 new employees but now wouldn't because of Obama made me laugh.Any tax payer that is paying on average 4% more than the higher income families should be outraged at the smear, fear, and false tactics.Plus he is 72 can he even still drive? And what would she do in office if he did? Help us all if they win this!

        She gives me the heebie jeebies.She's parading her children around for votes (and I mean EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME).... she's acting like Bristol's pregnancy is just "golly gee ok by me"..... she's a bit red-neck-y.... she's a self-proclaimed pit bull with lipstick.  A hockey mom (lame) who is under investigation for misuse of her powers for corrupt purposes.  I mean the woman has a child with Downs and is running for VP.  She needs to be home with her family.  I speak as a woman myself.  She needs to put her family first.  Obama's grandmother is dying and he leaves the campaign trail to be by her side.  THAT (my friends), speaks VOLUMES for his integrity, virtue, and honor to his family.  Palin just drags hers along for the ride.... (oh, and the boyfriend's too, who had his myspace page pulled ASAP for all the dumb comments he's made about being a redneck.)You guys think Palin is like "us" ?SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.  She is nothing like "us" or how we should feel proud to be.Obama/Biden '08.

          She is as unethical and as vindictive as low as a woman can get. I would like to have aReal Woman in that seat that stands for something. Palin has tried hard to fit in a place she has no idea how to sit. She calls he Husband the First Dude of Alaska come on Teenage comments. along side the fact that how is she a hockey mom? Hockey moms are like PTA moms. she is a wannabe. who wants a wannabe in the white house with a sidekick. Wow can you imagine that. I can't imagine that 5 kids a soon to be grandmother and continues to make childish comments and childish acts on SNL, and to he audiences. She needs to find her self and to GROW UP a LOT She needs to understand that. She can't handle nothing look where was she at when bristol was bringing home babies. She needs to focus on her House and children and grandchildren. Find the understanding of Mother/GrandMother/Wife Husband. The First Lady and The First Gentleman of Alaska. She has not got it down at this point.Lots of work to Do on the Homefront Hers.

            I think that people fail to realize that Sarah Palin will be the President in the event that John McCain gets elected and dies (he is old and has recovered from reoccurring skin cancer).  Do we really want her to lead our country or better yet are we prepared for her to lead our country?
