Why is this not in the news? Is this a cover-up?

Let the truth come out. If there was abuse of power, then the public has a right to know. Good or Bad. As I voter, I would like to know.

Palin requested the investigation, what a phony! Stonewalling already, shes a good Republican!

Why the hush-up and attempt to derail this part of a public official's record? Some reformer!

You can actually buy JaneSixPack or SarahSixPack and turn them into political, humor or whatever info sites. Ain't the Internet grand?!

If you had done nothing wrong or illegal why would you be trying to stonewall an investigation? Wouldn't you want the voting public to know you had done the right thing? IF that is...

wow--4 posts so far and no Palinophiles. I am so surprised. Won't be lond now before they show up and start bashing everyone as "sexist" and left-wing nutobs for asking for the same kind of review/oversight job that they all screamed was due Bill Clinton.

Wahhh...Wahhhh. They are so mean to Josephine Six-pack!

And you know what? Say what you want, call me a mean-spirited liberal. I don't care. Most posts I see it's generally ol' Bubba writing incoherently, calling us names, threatening us, etc. I just got here first.

Why isn't Senator Obama on trial or under official investigation for his high crimes or misdemeanors with Rezco, Ayres, and his other socialist, muslim extremists or other sordid criminal friends and terrorist pals? The answer is in you--you only see the worst in your opponents because you choose to do so. Why don't you seek the best in both sides? Because you don't really like Barack or Joe very much--not as much as you verily hate George W. Bush and his team. Sadly, you may learn that conducting a political campaign solely on hatred may not be enough to win. You need to pick someone you truly admire to support. Not simply the first everyman available to you.

Lets see, a Republican elected offical ignoring supoenas and thumbing their nose at America's legal system.

Havent we already seen this movie?

8 is enough!

Yeah okay Sara. . . . didn't you say you were going to bring transparency to Washington?
I guess anything goes, as long as it doesn't involve you.

If it werent for lies and coverups Mc Same- Palin wouldnt have a thing to campain on.

cheat on taxes, cheat on spouses, cheat, cheat, cheat.

great patriots.

with a wink and another LIE.

Maybe Palin considers Troopergate her biographical asterisk like McCain, whose asterisk was his role in the the last major financial bailout as one of the Keating Five.

She's hiding something. Mcdumb must know that there is something they want to keep from the public.

Let's see now: Rove refuses to obey a subpoena, now Palin and her aides do the same thing. Straight out of a Karl Rove playbook!

We had better know all the truth of the matter before she may become our vice president we don't need no more of another bush

McCain and Palin accused the TROOPERGATE investigation as "politically motivated". Well, if Palin has nothing to hide the more she should cooperate with the investigation now. If it turned out she's clean as she insists she is then, that will be a huge political windfall that could win her and McCain the election. Therefore, my advice to Palin - get politically motivated too and stand up to defend your honor.

She is as "real" as a $3 dollar bill. She is just barely literate and I would not buy a used car from her. If we elect her and her running mate-#894 out of 899 in his NA class--we will deserve the awful government we will surely get. This pair are the dumbest I've ever seen run for the two highest offices in the land. Do you want Joe and Josephine "Six-Pack" running the country?

Sarah Palin talks how she would change Washington as the new blood,as the outsider; but how is she going to change Senator McCain the old blood the insider who is a Washingtonian unless he is born again.

Shouldn't they also be investigating her illegal use of no-governmental e-mail communications?

she has nothing to hide !!!!!!!! then why is she trying so hard to hide that nothing ???!!!!!!

maybe her creepy witchdoctor can "make a way" to eliminate the investigation?

or maybe first tool can convince alaskans to secede?

8 is enough!!!

I find that Democrats are a funny lot. It is OK with them that their candidate has been closely linked to people such as Khalid al-Mansour, Tony Rezko, Jabir Muhammad, Edward Said, and last but not least William Ayers. Which is in my opinion far more dangerous than anything you guys can come up with on Sarah Palin. Yet hardly any one of you wish to look into any of that. Why?

I would like to see a lot more about this investigation on mainstream news. This is the first time in history a VP candidate is involved in the refusal to respond to a judicial order. Failing to comply with subpeonas is something that is big news - that the Governor's husband is refusing and others are afraid to comply with the law indicates that the Governor has something to hide. At the very least she is subverting an investigation. It sickens me that McCain has lost all sense of integrity and his running mate does not believe in the idea of checks and balances, separation of power or transparancy in government.

People, this doesn't need lots of coverage right now. Watergate rested on the back pages of the Washington Post long before it dominated the news. Just listen to the steady drip-drip-drip and smile. All the republicans can do at this point is put the report off for two more weeks. Branchflower's final draft will be ready by the time the Alaska Supreme Court decides this case. I'm sure if the plaintiffs win, (doubtful - their case is pretty flimsy) it will be appealed to the U.S. district court - then it goes to 9th U.S. Circuit Court of appeals (A very liberal court)IT won't get taken up by the U.S. Supreme court before the report goes public in the last two weeks of the campaign.

Lisa, Palin is under INVESTIGATION, all this started as a Bi - Partisan action in AK. If Obama was under investigation by a Bi - partisan action I would listen to you. Read the Ayers article in the NY Times there is nothing there.

Palin
You go girl!
Clean em all up!
No one needs a womanizer near them.

Nobody doesen't like Sarah P!

Looks like the comments reflect that the ABC Blotter runs to about 95% Obots who love the Drudge- documented pro-Obama bias.... Hope that will sustain you and your advertisers after the election. Not!

Sarah Palin, the Devil in Drag!
See how she runs! Run Devil, Run! Devil speaks with Forked Tongue!
Why tell the truth when a lie will do?
What will you do when she comes for you?

>^;^<

This is ridiculous! Let the truth come out. Sarah Palin has a duty to follow through and answer these questions as she promised before she was chosen as McCain's Vice President. I would think that McCain would want her to, too. The way her lawyer is attacking this case as political is exactly what is making this political. Let the process run its course without impediment! It's funny that they are calling the commissioner a "rogue". I guess "maverick" was taken. Why is this not front and center. Has she cowed all of you? Don't you feel any call to help the American people learn the truth?

Troopergate is only the tip of the Alasakan iceberg...

Ask yourself this question...

If your mother, or daughter, or sister, wife, girlfriend, best friend, auntie or cousin was violently raped and became pregnant would you tell them to go through with the pregnancy and maybe even say because it's God's will? That's what Sarah Palin and John McCain would want to have you do.

Sarah Palin opposes abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

Sarah Palin even made women who were raped pay for their own test kits while she was Mayor of Wasilla. She even did it against Alaska law.

John McCain's website says he "believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned."

Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have demonstrated views that could cause them to make ALL abortions illegal.

That's not the "Government get out of my way" that Sarah Palin talks about. That's not being a maverick. That's not real Christianity.

That's called forcing your own judgment on people and telling people what to do. Even Jesus Christ would have never judged women like that.

Yes she has moxie and because of her blind ambition she will hurt women in general because she doesn't care about women in general.

Sarah Palin's extremely intolerant right wing views are a detriment to women and will put the women's movement backwards by 40 years.

Sarah Palin and John McCain would not represent 4 more years of Bush. It would become much much worse that it ever was with Bush if these two "mavericks" were elected.

As a concerned american I think that in the best intrest of the Public office of vice president Gov. Palin would have enough honesty to clear up the trooper gate scandal before she trashed the reputation of the country. If she is clean then she has nothing to worry about.

If Americans elect Sarah Palin to be next in line to become president, we are in serious trouble. Her nomination already makes us the laughing stock of the world.
Palin sports a pregnant teenage daughter while advocating parental responsibility, no birth control, no abortion, and abstinence. She has a mentally retarded baby yet her husband takes off to race snowmobiles while she hits the campaign trail. She’s against “earmarks”, but leads all states in the U.S. for earmark dollars per citizen. She “knows foreign policy” because some people in her state can see Russia on the horizon. She hadn’t left the U.S. until last year, visited New York once, and was recently introduced to Henry Kissinger. She’s ready to become vice-president? Dana's right. This woman is a throwback. If this is all 'God's will' then we really are in serious trouble!!

What a slanging match, democracy at work, smear smear and some more smear, after the bumbling G W Bush im surprised there is any support in America for another Republican President, surely a Democrat for President is more desirable than any Republican regardless of policy. As for Troopergate, bring it on, fasinating stuff, only in America eh!

"with Rezco, Ayres, and his other socialist, muslim extremists or other sordid criminal friends and terrorist pals?" -steve

Instead of sputtering nonsense, Steve, provide some information about your allegations.

Many, many Americans have much more to fear from John McCain than any "socialist, muslim extremist or other sordid criminal friends and terrorist pals".

John McCain and his Republican buddies are a much greater danger! Bailout ring a bell there Steve 'ole boy?

Troopergate is just the tip of the Alaskan Governor's iceberg.

Too old and too dumb are getting as down and dirty as I have ever seen in American politics.

Maybe ol Hollis should have brought up those "Impeach and October surprise" comments before the vote on the investigation was taken. And that pro-Obama thingy may have mattered too....

Wow, these Sarah Palin supports vs the Obama supports...wow. What about the "get the economy back on its feet" Supporters? Or the "Social Security that we have paid into is gone" Supporters. True that if Sarah has nothing to hide she should stop acting as if she is above the law (because refusing to or asking others to refuse to abide by the law is disgraceful and seedy) then she should come clean. Obama needs to be put under investigation for his association with people who make poor judgements...oh wait Congress and the Executive branch needs the same reality check as well. Troopergate needs to be resolved before Sarah starts to call out anyone. Don't throw stones...you know how it goes...lol Vote America on the Issues! Nov. 4th or early voting.

I live in AZ and am ashamed of the circus called "McCain/Palin." An abuse of power such as this and the fact that as mayor she spent $50,000 remodeling her office reflects her selfish republican attitude. This investigation has merit, the stated Obama "grabbing at straws" accusations do not. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was an anti-establishment activist. Many in that generation were. I am going to do my best to make sure McCain doesn't get into the white house or gets re-elected to our Senate.

Why are only Todd Palin and several of her staff members "cooperating"(aka- doing what the court ruled they MUST do, which is honor the supoenas they received) in this investigation, yet Sarah Palin herself is not giving a statement as well in the troopergate investigation?

This case is about Sarah Palin's abuse of power and she should be fully questioned and investigated under oath.
Anyone else would have to do this in this type of situation...

I just find it amazing the republican lie campaign continues to herd the sheep of the US. If she is innocent, then she should cooperate. But a deeper question should be asked, "Why is her husband so involved in this scandal?" I wasn't aware he was an elected official. Secondly, enough of the Bill Ayers references. Perhaps you should check your data, Ayers is now a respected professor, and quite respected by the city of Chicago for education reform. Just another thing to consider, if the republicans want to keep making suggestions Obama has ties to terrorist organizations, what about the ties McCain has to the ultra right wing abortion bombers? In my eyes, there is no difference between them and Timothy McVie, you remember him, Federal Building Bomber of Oklahoma. "Don't cast stones if you live in a glass house."

I have a question... if Ayers is such a threat, then why is he running the streets a free man? Am I dreaming this or did Bush not put into effect laws against suspected terrorist activity.. which would then make Ayers kind of a criminal???

please please correct me if I am wrong..
