Not surprised by this but I am surprised that nothing has been said about the Palin "abuse of power" thing.
If you are talking about the trooper thing, it has been all over the news.
I meant it wasn't used by Obama in his ads.
Well SOMEONE must have been upset for it to be on the news so much.
Well, it was a nothing story until Palin was selected as VP. Then the committee selected to review it (with Obama supporters and angry Republicans) decided to speed up the investigation up effect the election.
She has the right to replace him without reason. That he went around her in requesting earmarks, gave her a reason. That others were upset that he allowed such a man to remain a trooper seems reasonable.
