Excuse me? the VP candidate under investigation for abuse of power isnt relevant to the election? How exactly are you going to back up that statement?
Over and over again on this board, people have thrown around the idea that what the candidates say they will do has no meaning over what their behavior in the past has indicated they will do. Now if Palin is under serious and very real allegations of abusing her power as a Governor, how can you say that that is not real news or of any relevance to the election?
Every single corrupt politician in history has made abuse of power a staple in their dealings to run their countries into the ground. Are you really that unconcerned about the possibility that this has been a recurring incident for the possible VP of the united states, and lets face it, with McCain's health, the President?
You might have SOME footing to stand on by saying that her $150K wardrobe isnt of consequence to the election. But saying that the troopergate scandal and the other allegations that have since been brought forth are not relevant is baffling.
