Palin guilty of 'abuse of power'

So, is that the election done then?

(serious question, actually. This'd seem to be an election killer in most places, but you people do things differently).

it was over before and it's more over now...  McCain really did not do his homework on the Palin pick.  he just thought it'd be cool.

I mean over with no hope of playing Lazarus.

the only way would be something that puts the economy on the back burner, which is almost difficult to conceive of at this point; something such as, Obama actually IS a Muslim terrorist and/or the outbreak of WWIII.

Boil the charges down to their simplest form, and assume they are actually true - Todd and/or Sarah Palin pressured the commissioner to fire a police officer who tasered a child and threatened to kill Sarah Palin's father.  Assume you're not political in any stripe.  If you were in the Palin's shoes, would you have done the same thing?  

you miss the point entirely.  none of that matters in the least.  you know what matters?  go to CNN.com, FOXNews.com, and so on and check out the lead story.  I don't have the TV on but I can assure you that's what the talking heads will be spending their time on tonight too.  it's a brutal ~24+ hours for McCain at a time when he simply can't afford a bad ten minutes.

Tweed, you are the one who is missing the point.

Cinyc is arguing that Palin did the right thing.  You ignore that completely and say she did somethign politically damaging.

I suspect you are right that this is politically damaging, but that is not relevant to whether Palin was right or not.

the original issue at hand was about the McCain camp's kneejerk gamble on Palin...
