oh please please please let the media NOT pick up on this untill tomorrow.

let her spend the night saying I am a reformer, then tomorrow let the McCain camp face questions about this.

there were proud they were playing up her, Investigate me I have nothing to hide.

now she won't testify unless her appointees get to handle the investigation?

riiiiggghhtt add to that the loyalty firings while mayor, and her love for special interest groups.

we just found the Female George Bush.

Yet, I heard, time after time on the pundit shows "Palin is a maverick, she took on corruption at every step of her career"

Some how, we need to move this kind of information out of the blogosphere and onto the cable shows and the old media.

It won't be easy, the Republics are trying to paint her as some cross between Teddy Roosevelt and Amelia Erhardt.

How McCheney of her!

It is very important that we do not let this act of dishonesty go unnoticed by the public.

I can't decide if this is good or bad.

Before you beat me up, let me explain.

For those logical Americans, this should be seen as a bad thing.  Refusing to testify?  What do you have to hide?  It's obvious she's got big boys telling her what to do and how to do it!

For the right-wingers out there, this will be seen as her right.  She did nothing wrong, they have no right, etc and so fourth.  They will play it up as picking on a woman again, and for those soft in the head, they will "feel" for her.  Of course, the fact that the delay may mean that the information won't come out until AFTER the election means nothing, at least not to these people.

I'm still puzzled why people are not more upset that Palin was cc'ing her husband on state business.  I mean, is he running Alaska, and she's the figure head??  Would you expect anyone to cc their spouse on state business or include them in meetings?  I mean it's one thing to talk about it, it's quite another to formally include him, don't you think??

Seems like that the Enquirer is promising some startling revelations about the trooper-gate. And after the Edwards scandal, media may be more amenable to push these revelations. Who knoew that Edwards scandal could have benefitted the Democrats?

The election may get even stranger; if that is ever possible.

McLame calls this vetting?

Defending his choice and the team that helped pick her, McCain said Tuesday that "the vetting process was completely thorough." Advisers said Palin went through a rigorous process that included a three-hour interview and a survey with some 70 questions, including: Have you ever paid for sex? Have you been faithful in your marriage? Have you ever used or purchased drugs? Have you ever downloaded pornography?

A three hour interview and a survey. Talk about incompetence.

If Cheney and Rove can refuse to testify regarding high crimes and misdemeanors and NO ONE in the media makes an issue of it, then I don't see this story having legs either.

Americans don't go for the real crimes, we just like sex crap.

The Republican Party is nothing but special interest groups.  And it is those groups who are about to go medieval out there... 527s are forming even as I type.
