Did you notice that Fox announced the speech that the McCain campaign refused to let her give on Tuesday night?

Palin was devastating for McCain’s presidential race. But I’m not sure she was as bad as people are saying.

The Personnel investigation into the firing of Walt Monegan–the one conducted by three governor appointees–has cleared Sarah Palin of any wrong-doing.
