Politics Buzz McCain picked Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska, as his running mate. A bold move! McCain can now safely count on those three electoral votes from Alaska. Palin’s a reformer who plays well to the cameras, but a state probe into her official conduct — she may have used her clout to fire her ex -brother-in-law from a state trooper’s position — could really backfire.

When Governor Palin chose to unceremoniously dump Alaska Department of Public Safety Commissioner Monehan a few weeks ago, she had no idea the trouble that would follow. Apparently the basic issue was that Monehan supported the troopers, saw a department that had been cut too many times, and refused to make additional budget cuts as directed by the governor.
But then it came to light that Governor Palin, her family and staff were pressuring Monehan to fire a trooper, one that is an ex-brother in law, over a personal matter, and things became sticky real fast. Her denials and subsequent back-pedaling have only served to intensify the controversy.
Seriously, this ticket all but guarantees McCain is elected— the cable news networks, tabloids and trailer parks of America will make certain of it. Read more at: http://borracho.tumblr.com

Sarah Palin goes after Hillary voters. She tells Hillary voters they can finish the job of cracking the glass ceiling. I bet Hillary is fuming right now.
