15 frivolous suits against Sarah Palin by left wing bloggists have been rejected by the Alaska courts.

Sarah's surprise denouement from Governer of Alaska has the motivation of a patriot behind it. Check this out - could she be an emergent Ron Paul?

How do you know that all of the 'bloggists' who initiated these ethics complaints are 'left wing'? Do you have personal knowledge of the political affiliations and leanings of each and every one of them? Or are you merely parroting the accusations of the right wing bloggists who generally support Palin and populate the web sites that you rely upon for your information?

Perhaps you should also consider that at least some of these ethics complaints could have been dismissed due to a lack of supporting evidence, and not because they were frivolous to begin with. Many times, ethics violations turn on intent, which is not always easy to prove. And it is a basic concept of ethics that it is not enough to avoid actual conflicts of interest; one should avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest as well (a principle that seems to have been lost or ignored  by a great many public officials). It could very well be that Ms. Palin engaged in activities that gave the appearance of a conflict of interest, but evidence proving that a conflict did in fact occur was lacking. Obviously, I am speculating here, because I do not know the specifics of each of these dismissed complaints. But then, I suspect that neither do you.

She is a perky, good lookin' soccer mom - Mayor of Bear Scat, Alaska. She can field dress a deer, and Americans love her down home charm.

But she is not qualified .......... she can "see Russia from Alaska." That's the extent of her foreign policy experience that she has acquired from her 40+ adult years of learning Global Politics.

She was ready to militarily confront Russia over the Georgia debacle. That's nuts. I'm only willing to fight for our Georgia - not theirs.

Even McCain staffers recently complained about her abilities. If you neo-cons need to have a hero .... please, anybody but her.
