If I were given the chance to ask Governor Palin a few questions I think that I‘d start with this:

Q: Governor, why have you requested an investigation of your own office by the Alaska Personal Board into abuse of power issues, which has undermined the investigation of the Alaska Joint Legislative Council and caused many of your staff to stop cooperating with the special investigator, Steve Branchflower?

At this point I would expect the Governor to give the explanation that her lawyer gave that basically cites concerns about jurisdiction and following the law, as the Alaska legislature wrote it, concerning ethics probes. I would then follow up with this:

Q: Why, if your sole concern is seeing that the law is being followed, did you and your staff cooperate fully with the Joint Legislative Council’s investigation for five weeks before you raised these concerns?

Of course, it's because of Gov. Palin. She's a vibrant, dynamic woman who has been thrust into our nation's political reality.

I'd ask why she supported the 'bridge to nowhere' until the state's portion of the project increased.

I'd ask why not just complete the ethics probe already happening so voters can make an informed decision insteadof not having all the facts that would have been availeable had the first investigation been allowed to be completed on schedule.

Thank goodness President Gerald Ford didn't feel a need to pull such shenanigans ... he willingly went in front of Congress to answer their questions regarding his pardoning ... not exhoneration ... of President Nixon.

Now, there was a situation for the history books ... not this racial/gender circus going on. Ford's attainment of the Oval Office proved that our nation's Constitution works. He never aspired to the Presidency; he knew better. But, he was willing to accept the responsibility asked of him - the one laid out in the Constitution. And he did so without one vote being cast for him to take that oath.

The first African American Presidential candidate and the first Republican female VP candidate are merely footnotes in the long run ... as has become of Geraldine Ferraro.

Getting back to the topic ... metaphorical penny bet says she or the campaign plays the gender card as soon as Gibson asks the tough questions backed with documentation.

Then watch the world's media take her on.

oh fabulous idea! thanks mariposa...i'll pitch it tomorrow morning. :-)
p.s. does anyone else think Sen. Obama is losing his momentum? or do you think it's just temporary? i feel another blog coming on...

Well, seeings how there are many people that think that the convention is going to "shake up" the election this time, unlike any have in the past, I'd like to ask why have there not been any local political officials having a poll presented?

Did someone do a hostile takeover? Who is running foe Secretary of State? Secretary of Defense? Secretary of Treasury? ect. ect.? Why didn't they get a commercial? I want to see who is running for Cabinet for the "I'll make sure you get paid in full for your work before someone makes up a crime that was committed" position.

I think the debates are so overly scripted only the thickest of campaign retoric will escape the political angst. I sincerely doubt I would be let near any microphone that would allow any free thinking to escape to the people or national press. I would start however with an ice-breaker asking what the long term goals would be of the republican energy policy and question if any plans are in effect for John McCains gasoline free automobiles.

Next would come the human/civil rights questions concerning federally and Congressionally approved 'civilian labor' camps as well as what will happen with the Patriot Act as well as other Bush administration laws and legislations regarding the 'war on terror'.

If she plays the gender or victim card with him, she loses credibility.

Charles Gibson knows how to word the 'tough questions' without being cruel or attacking the person he interviews.

The more I see of Sarah Palin, the more and more I become convinced that she is an EMPTY HEADED MORON. Come on people she is as transparent as they come.
