If you've been watching or reading the news, you know that things don't look good for John McCain. Of course, anything can happen today and polls aren't to be believed, so who knows what's going to happen.
One thing's for sure - the Republican's campaign got a bit of good news today after a second investigation exonerated running mate Sarah Palin of any wrong doing in the "Troopergate" scandal:
Troopergate '08 is finally culminating in something! Will it change anybody's thinking that Sarah Palin that put unethical amounts of pressure on Alaskan authorities to fire her ex-brother-in-law Michael Wooten for personal reasons? Maybe not, but at least now it's in writing thanks to a 200-plus-page report from an independent panel made up by former Alaskan prosecutor Stephen E. Branchflower.
Branchflower's investigation comes at the end of a three-month outcry from public officials in Wasilla, after Palin fired the head of Alaska's public safety commission, Walt Monegan, when he didn't play ball and take Wooten off the task-force.
Of course, crazy S'palin sees it another way: she wasn't doing anything wrong in trying to get a guy fired for personal, familiar reasons! It's just the liberal elite of Alaska out to get her, again:

Having your privacy invaded on the Internet sucks, as anyone who's been fired for their Facebook pictures can attest. By now, most people know to log off of public computers after checking their e-mails, know to create different passwords for all their social networking sites, know not to answer those messages from a prince in Africa looking to transfer some balances into your bank account. This is a generation that's been burned before, thanks in no small part to JuicyCampus.
But this Sarah Palin hacked Yahoo account thing is well…dirty. Were some kids over in 4chan really able to log into VP candidate's private email? Shouldn't there be some sort of protection against that sort of stuff? Is it any of our business who Sarah Palin emails? Who even has a Yahoo account anymore? Agh, so many questions, so little answers, but it's best to take a look now before all information regarding this event disappears faster than Bristol Palin's listed phone number:

The Anchorage Daily News team didn't wait two weeks before jumping down their governor's throat once she found her way to the media spotlight. And nor should they; the ADN hedged Sarah Palin to answer for some of her more…let's say "colorful"… actions for awhile now (like Troopergate, the most fun-sounding of all the -gates), and now that the whole world is watching, the paper demands answers. Who knew all that drama that was going on in Alaska while the rest of the world watched the first season Gossip Girl?
You can see why Palin avoids the publication, since the list of questions the ADN has for Palin is actually pretty brutal — just like ABC News' might be: CONTINUED »
