Politicizing Troopergate
By Dave - Politics DailyMovements are fast afoot to either finish out the "Troopergate" investigations, or at least make them irrelevant to the presidential election. In addition to Tommy's story about Palin basically moving to ignore any investigation run by Obama supporter Hollis French, (I applaud), a few other Alaskans are jumping into the fray.The Attorney General is threatening to quash the subpoenas due to an overbearing partisan approach by French himself and then we have a few legislators jumping in: adn.comFive Alaska Legislators, Rep. Wes Keller, Rep. Mike Kelly, Rep. Bob Lynn, Sen. Fred Dyson, and Sen. ...
Palin Won't Cooperate on Troopergate
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe abuse of power investigation of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, dubbed "TrooperGate," is going to have to proceed without her. From Palin spokesman Ed O'Callaghan: (via AFP) "I think it's fair to say that the governor is not going to cooperate with that investigation so long as it remains tainted and run by partisan individuals that have a predetermined conclusion," O'Callaghan said. A bipartisan committee of the Alaska State Legislature voted 12-0 to hire an independent investigator to probe Palin and her staff, so perhaps by "partisan," he means that each member of the legislature belongs ...
Post Interview Roundup
By Dave - Politics DailyOn the actual video, most parts are available hereThe Gibson-Palin interviews are over and I think we can say definitively that nothing has really changed except, possibly, Charlie Gibson's approval rating.. Those who like Sarah, still like her and now they don't like Charlie Gibson.

Troopergate was mentioned without ...

By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Associated Press reports that "First Dude" Todd Palin has been subpoenaed in the abuse of power investigation surrounding Alaska Governor and McCain running mate Sarah Palin:Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP state Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.The state legislature approved 12 other subpoenas as well. The investigation involves allegations that ...
Palin and Book Banning
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThere's a lot of misinformation out there regarding the books that Sarah Palin doesn't want your children to read. Phony lists have been sent around the Internet, and some have wrongly claimed she wanted to physically burn books she and her church deemed offensive. But while those rumors are unfounded, the story of how Palin inquired about the removal of certain books from the public library -- and the subsequent firing of Wasilla's chief librarian -- raises, yet again, questions about Palin's fitness for executive office. ABC's Brian Ross recently filed this report:In tandem with the ...
