You do understand that Palin is running while ignoring a legal subpoena?
That, according to Jonathan Turley, has never been done before. And not only did Ifill NOT ask her about it in the debate, we barely bring it up on DU.

But I think it's huge, and I think we need to go viral with it if McSame goes ugly as he has threatened to do.

2. If McCain really start slinging dung, then the subpoena and the Keating 5
scandal need to get a LOT of air time.We have much more ammunition during this race than they do, and we shouldn't be afraid to use it.

4. Except for Keith and Rachel, and maybe Tweety, expect the corporate media to ignore it.

5. I more than expect them to ignore it
but that doesn't mean the grassroots has to.

7. Isn't the Alaska special prosecutor to issue a report soon?
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 11:15 AM by Tallison
Or is that tied up in courts?

9. I have heard that a report will be issued
before the election. But it will be a report made without all the facts, apparently.

11. It will reflect the testimony of those who honored their subpoenas
which I believe number in the dozens. Glad that McPalin's team hasn't yet successfully obstructed the report's release.

15. Time for me to check the Anchorage Daily News
On this issue, its reporters are the source for most national outlets.

Love the moose and bear sighting pics there, too.

6. Both Palin`s (sarah and todd) ignoring subpoenas.
Sound like anyone else we know? Can you even imagine if this were the Biden`s?? They would be hammered into oblivion.

17. No, and as an above poster points out
can you imagine what they would do if Biden and his wife were doing this?

16. I'm guessing that there was a troll with a gun under Gwen's desk.
She seemed to be either gripped with fear or mesmerized by that stupid wink. Somehow or another she abrogated her duties as a moderator and started to function more like a trash--er huh debate "Compactor."

20. Excuse me but she's one of them.
Her BFF is Condoleezza Rice. She does try to appear neutral and I thank her for that but she is a right winger.

21. I was surprised that most DUers don't know
that Ifill is Rice's best friend. She didn't surprise me during the debate at all.

27. That is NOT true. She did not appear MESMERIZED with fear
I saw her also on MEET the Press this morning. She is an intelligent woman and didn't look to be piling on the McCain Bandwagon.

She didn't show bias during the Biden / Palin debate.

19. I saw that when he said it.
This should be talked about more not only by us but the M$M at large. These Republicans have been the most treasonous group starting with the war mongers in the White House down to the ones who want to get into the White House. They should be in jail not running for office.

24. Hang tight. The report coming out Oct 10 will bring this all back into the spotlight.
I am convinced there is something big in that report that could destroy Palin. That is why they are fighting it so desperately.

26. Why should she pay attention to subpoenas when the Bush administration ignored them?
Same damned playbook. :grr:

28. The Branchflower report is due Friday but the Supreme Court
of Alaska will hear an appeal by five members of the Alaskan GOP in which they are requesting that the report be delayed till after the election. SC will hear the appeal on Wed and rule no later than Thursday evening.
I do not think Sarah Palin was subpeonaed. It was her husband and 12 others.

29. Yes. That is correct - Sarah was not subpoened.
They were hoping she would cooperate willingly. What were they thinking?? From what I have heard the SC is not likely to block the report. They are not Palin stooges.
