2. it's got all the elements there, using state power to settle a person score
me likey and i really hope the info keeps on coming out, Michael Isikoff needs to stay in Alaska until he gets it all.

22. maybe
Every Obama ad, and every Obama speech says "more of the same"

What screams more of the same than 1100 emails being held back due to executive privelage. Extremely dubious executive privelage at that!

5. Definitely. The fuse is lit.
Isikoff reported something about pressure being put on to deny the tooper's disability claim? That's huge.

Only question I have is, will Palin still be on the ticket when it blows.

7. Right, some petty ass shit right there, you would think a Governor would have had the smarts
to leave no finger prints. I don't know about her staying on the ticket but if she were to suddenly need "More tie with her family" i'm going to attribute to something big on the trooper story.

14. I don't remember Isikoff saying.
But the implication was certainly that it was from Palin. Who else would have a motive?

15. Isikoff said that there was ac all made to a tip line that was set up saying that
some from the governors office (i think) called and told whoever was handling his claim to deny it.

8. I'm not sure the story is "sexy" enough to sell.
I agree that there's some real meat there, but I'm not sure it'll capture people too extensively.

Still, seeing any of it out there can't hurt us either, so let's roll. :)

10. hate to say this but i think it's "Bitchy" enough to piss off enough voters.
i know they're already painting the for bil as the biggest piece of wife beating shit in the world because they hope that it will blunt what comes out of the investigation.

11. The story is already out there.
Palin's blood is in the water and the sharks are circling. The media loves scandals.

16. However much painted as small stuff, combined with other firings, abuse of power.
I hope a case can be made that that thinking is what the Bush cronyism and vindictiveness all about.

20. Unfortunately it will NOT be blowing up before Nov 4. They will stonewall this shit.
I don't care when the investigation is supposed to wrap up because I know that date is meaningless. Look at the last 8 years. The law means NOTHING to these fuckers. I'm not counting on this to de-rail them.
