It’s almost as though the local GOP committee people went around to the rich people on their election lists and told them to take the signs down because, you know what with the economy imploding, it didn’t look good that only the rich had those signs. Then they went out to their class-confused members and asked them to put the signs in front of their modest homes so that people could think that regular, lower middle class and working families were in the tank for McInsane.

I know it sounds conspiratorial, but it’s the only explanation I’ve got.

The McCain Campaign seems to be keeping Sarah in the boat, while ignoring the smoke coming out of her ears.

Who would so recklessly gamble to Keep Her On when the combination of Branchflower’s finding of Abuse of Power (he says that she violated the Public Trust,) as documented in 18 Events – together with the still-unknown contents of the withheld e-mails – might just add-up to Conspiracy to Abuse Power?

IOW, What are the chances that those withheld e-mails show *coordination* between some, or all, of the 18 Events?

Performed as Acts of Omission by Governor Sarah (looking the ‘other’ way), and Acts of Commission by First Gentleman Todd (the ‘coordinator’) to Settle a Family Score?

Were the resources of the State used? It certainly looks so – Todd appears to have had Personnel Jackets with him in the Conference Room next to Sarah’s office.

Did Todd have eyes and ears on Wooten? It appears so, some of the Wooten ’sightings’ are dated to the minute.

Do many of the Events have ’similar’ fingerprints? It’s almost comical how all of the ‘interventions’ seem to be coming out of the same hymnal, so to speak.

Since Branchflower didn’t have a scope beyond investigating State Employees, all he could do was Demonstrate Sarah’s Ethical Lapse – the Error of Omission. She Failed To Do what needed to be done proactively, in order to faithfully execute her job for Alaskans – she ‘looked the other way’ while ‘others’ Abused her Power by Proxy.

Those ‘others’? Why, Todd and the Get Wooten Gang, of course.

What will the McCain Campaign do next? Defend Todd’s Claim to Spousal Privilege?

How long before the rest of the Alaska Legislature has their chance to review Branchflower’s Report, including the 1,000 page Non-Public Appendix, and realizes that the Report suggests that the ‘not discussed’ Todd may be the Ringleader for a bunch of Alaskan Hatfields running Amok with the Resources of the State to ‘get’ a personal enemy, while hiding and acting in space ‘protected’ by the ‘not knowing’ Governor?

This would be like Bush ‘looking the other way’ while Rove ‘coordinated’ the Firing of the USAs, or Gonzo honchoed the Torture Memos through, or Cheney outed Valerie…
