It will be interesting to see how the McCain-Palin campaign will spin this, especially in light of the council being dominated my Republicans.

Actually, now she and McCain have more in common -- they've both been reprimanded for ethics violations. What a team!

Revenge is better served cold. Sarah Palin  threw red meat like a mindless two bite trick and created a mop and is enjoying every moment. It also serves the conservative base has well because McCain had many choice's he could have made. Sarah Palin is no more than a gimmick that is back firing. Trooper Gate is just one part of this, what about the Independent party good old Todd belongs too. She spoke at their rally this year. The Hypocrisy of the Base accepting her with daughter who is on swoll. The  Follow up  questioned  she can not answer  unless  Shaun Hannity is helping her answer his questions. But this REFLECTS MORE ON THE JUDGMENT OF McCAIN. The way he is going we may as well keep Bush not even he has not made this many bad call so close together.

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
This is an accurate quote from the introduction to Dreams from My Father.  The book chronicles Obama's experience as the son of an African father and an American mother. But it is not the complete story about this quote
From 'Audacity of Hope: "Lolo (Obama's step father) followed a brand of Islam ...."I looked to Lolo for guidance".Just 2 examples on how partal quotes can be twisted in a negative way. I don't believe them, and nobody else should either
