40 Alaska Republicans Tell Joe Miller to Start Answering Questions
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 20) -- No further questions? Forty members of the Alaska Republican Party have signed their names to a letter urging tea party candidate Joe Miller, who is running as the GOP nominee for Senate in that state, to begin answering questions about his own background and qualifications for office, the Anchorage Daily News reports. "It is unacceptable -- and certainly not a winning strategy -- to explicitly refuse to answer reasonable questions about oneself, and to disrespect the Alaska public and the press' right to do so before the questions have even been asked," the letter, which was ...
Sarah Palin Turns on Levi Johnston
By David Knowles - Politics DailyFrom Dan Fagan--The Anchorage Daily News reporter who, a few weeks back, dared to ask how it was that Levi Johnston was accepted into an apprenticeship program even though he didn't meet the actual requirements--comes a tale of how quickly fortunes change in the soap opera that is the Palin family:Stapleton's [Meghan, Sarah Palin spokeswoman] statement went on to say, "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child."Think about that for a second.

Top 5 Reasons it Sucks to Be Sarah Palin
By David Knowles - Politics DailyOver the past week, a fresh new trove of Sarah Palin stories has been offered up to the American people, making plain, once again, that meteoric fame often comes with a hefty pricetag.

But a few recent developments, as magnified by the ...
Sarah Palin's Latest Trials and Tribulations
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBy now it should be clear to everyone that, following her failed run to become the nation's next Vice President, Sarah Palin has no intention of fading back into the Alaskan woodwork. To wit, she has continued a somewhat steady effort to remain in the media spotlight since early November, even though her favorite interview topic is how unfair the media has been to her. In this way, she has become indistinguishable from pop stars like Britney Spears (that ready-made metaphor) whose music videos complain of the price of fame while promoting continued fame. The latest instances of Palin-watching ...

By David Knowles - Politics DailyFour quick stories of society and its discontents:From Politico comes "House GOP rises up against Cheney." It seems as though some in the Republican Party have and enough of the "with us or against us" mentality, and aren't ready to fast-track the bailout plan. Another Republican who's not going to take it anymore is Alaska State Senate President, Lydia Green. Via the Anchorage Daily News:Calling herself a "raging Republican," Green says, she is "absolutely disgusted, embarrassed, and ashamed" by the McCain-Palin campaign's intervention in the Troopergate probe. Green is alarmed by the McCain ...
Palin's Latest Troopergate Explanation
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWe've heard Sarah Palin give varying accounts as to why she fired Walt Monegan, each one meant to assure the public that his refusal to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law was not the real reason. Well, here's her latest explanation, via ABC News:Fighting back against allegations she may have fired her then-Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan because he had a "rogue mentality" and was bucking her administrations directives."The last straw," her lawyer argued, came when he planned a trip to Washington, D.C., to seek federal funds for an aggressive anti-sexual-violence program.
