Palin Abused Her Power
A report from Alaska’s legislature finds that Gov. Sarah Palin “unlawfully abused her authority” in firing Alaska’s public safety commissioner Walt Monegan. The 263 page report concludes that a “family grudge” was a contributing reason for the dismissal.
“Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor’s sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute,” the AP explains.
In an attempt to preempt the news, the McCain campaign issued their own report clearing Palin.
Democrats Have Registration Edge
An Associated Press survey of election officials nationwide “found that as of Oct. 1, the number of registered Democrats had grown by nearly 5 percent since 2004 — outpacing overall population growth in the 28 states where information on voter registration by party was available for 2004 and 2008. During the same time, the GOP lost more than 2 percent of its registered voters.”
