Alaska lawmakers vote to subpoena Todd Palin

(ANCHORAGE, Alaska) The abuse of power investigation against Sarah Palin, Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, took a potentially ominous turn for her party on Friday when state lawmakers voted to subpoena her husband.

Republican efforts to delay the probe until after the Nov. 4 election were thwarted when GOP State Sen. Charlie Huggins, who represents Palin's hometown of Wasilla, sided with Democrats. "Let's just get the facts on the table," said Huggins, who appeared in camouflage pants to vote during a break from moose hunting.

The Senate committee acted at the request of investigator Stephen Branchflower, who is gathering evidence on whether Gov. Palin abused her power by firing Walt Monegan, the state's director of public safety. Critics charge she fired Monegan after he refused to dismiss Mike Wooten, a state trooper who had a messy divorce from the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was let go because of a budget dispute.

Rumors are he was the muscle behind the pressure. I guess we'll know soon who Tod Palin really is. I would say he's a great guy to not be threatened by his wifes success but we often don't know what's really behind ones smile.

That brings another question to my mine, if this is true who was really the governor?

I guess we'll never know. Some idiot investigating the situation said, "Palin will get a big surprise come October". Now, and rightly so, there is no way anyone will accept a decision coming from that committee. Palin can do two terms as VP plus her two terms as President before this thing gets resolved now.

I think that guy must have been on her side... He had to know what he was doing. No one is that dumb...



EDITED to ADD: You know, I'm don't see this story on the news feeds. I wonder if this was conservative blogging that planted this story... It looks like the phrase "October Surprise" is something they started.
