[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 227234, member: 4191"] Don't get you dander up prematurely. I agree that no politician rises to the top without some dirty laundry. I never said she was a terrible person or politician. In fact I said this was the only black mark against her to my knowledge since she became our Governor. And then the die-hards jumped in to claim it was all a conspiracy theory I was pumping, all aimed at bring Sarah down off her throne. I won't fight with anyone over this because fighting over politics is such a collosal waste of time. People and the politics are often like mother bears protecting their young. I don't get wrapped around the axle like so many others do. There is some dirtly laundry here and I hope she comes clean on it rather than continuing in denial, which is her current stategy to minimize the damage. My personal concern here is that Sarah's only held a significant public office for less than two years and I really hated to see her go after her brother-in-law by mis-using her elected power as the Governor of the State of Alaska.
