As Governor I have to take action to protect the families of Alaska. We have to think outside the box sometimes when families are in danger." Why she first choose to partake in the investigation then refused is beyond me. Seems to me she could have put this to sleep fairly easily.
The way she went about it makes her look like just another power hungry politician. But I think she could have added to her (I can't believe I'm using this word) maverick image had she been more up front from the beginning.

Remeber Libby? After Libby, only an idiot would cooperate with a politically charged investigation.

I give you the benefit of the doubt in the fact that you don't know me. I disagree with conservatives all the time, and I vote against them too. Regarding our federal government I am always biased toward "outsiders" and non-incumbents. I think "insiders" and people who have been in Washington too long get corrupted by the :system and they often discontinue to share the values of the people who put them there.
