Well I'm glad that's settled then.
No point waiting for the legal commission report now.
Has anything happened about the wrongful use of the Hotmail account for government business? (I mean, apart from the guy who exposed it being charged with a crime that carries 20 years.)

So, does this damage the Republicans chances, or does this early display of power abuse simply show the party faithful that they picked a good'un?

you can do this sort of thing when you're royal
Excellant ! Soon the colonies will once again be under the yoke of the Crown !
... I'm impressed with this idea of clearing yourself, I thought Cresson was ballsy enough over the dentist but this is almost better.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

So, is that like me trying myself then?
Did I do it?
No, I don't recall
Then I declare myself a free man.
And I cannot help but wonder if she gave herself a backhander on this one just to make sure it was absolutely, 100% corrupt!

I doubt it'll do much damage. The type of people who determine their presidential pick based on the vice president being a deer shooting, christian values hockey mum with executive experience aren't the sort of people to be swayed by facts or information. The women is pretty much reality proof.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Most of those people are either stupid women or non-voting felons.

Once upon a time, I told myself it's better to be smart than lucky. Every day, the world proves me wrong a little more. |

Plenty of polls show Palin scoring stronger amongst men than women, it's been a big part of the reason people feel the effort to capture disgruntled Hillary voters has failed. But really it's not about men or women with her, she does well among 'values voters' and not so well outside that group, regardless of gender or any other factor.
I'm not really sure why you think Palin would do well among the non-voting felon audience. I'm neither a felon nor a Palin voter so I'm not really in a position to speculate.

If I understand things correctly, the Alaskan legal body that drew up the report has no power to censure or prosecute Palin.
It would be interesting if she were elected VP and then faced prosecution for misfeasance.
