In summary, the probe into Sarah Palin's abuse of power has widened as state lawmakers voted to subpoena her husband. Republican efforts to delay the probe were unsuccessful and one Republican senator even voted with the Democrats. Despite this, it is believed that Palin may actually gain more support as the press continues to cover this story. However, her ethical lapses and lack of experience in foreign policy continue to be a concern.

AP said:
Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.

Now that is such a folksy image, I wish they had done that for the CNN cameras.

They dress up in combat camouflage to go shoot wild cows?

Precious.

I don't think Palin will be hurt by this. In fact ... she may even garner more support if the press keeps playing this out.

It's Alaska: They shoot lots of things.

No her ethical lapses are mounting.

Her vapid, inane claims to foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from an island in Alaska, is just too bizarre to even comprehend.

Palin is a yard plant that requires full shade. She withers in bright light. She only seems to flourish in a bed of fertilizer.
