Palin Directed Stevens' "Excellence In Public Service" 527

Washington Post:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin began building clout in her state's political circles in part by serving as a director of an independent political group organized by the now embattled Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens.

Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings.

Palin's relationship with Alaska's senior senator may be one of the more complicated aspects of her new position as Sen. John McCain's running mate; Stevens was indicted in July 2008 on seven counts of corruption.

Gee I don't know John, don't you think we should vet her first before we make her your running mate?

Nah, that won't be necessary. Just put her on the ticket and watch the female vote pour in.

[Candyx]

she is a reformer, she cuts corruption, she is like us, she is America!!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!!

not!!! TYPICAL republican hack!! the neocons got a hold of her

How is Palin like "us?" I cannot imagine voting for someone based on their gender or race.

Why Don't More People "Get It" I want a President that cares about all people.

There are major differences between the economic policies of Obama and John McCain. The information below is very interesting.

Why do people keep voting for Presidents that only benefit the wealthy?

McCain wants more tax cuts for the rich

Obama wants tax cuts for the poor and middle class - incomes less than $250,000, about 95% of America

Family Income Growth
Annual Average 1948-2005, by Income Level. Adjusted for inflation

Column 1 - Percentile

Column 2 - Under Democratic Presidents 26 yrs

Column 3 - Under Republican Presidents 32 yrs

20th +2.64% +0.43%
40th +2.46% +0.80%
60th +2.47% +1.13%
90th +2.38% +1.39%
95th +2.12% +1.90%

20th percentile is income level at which 20 percent of all families have less income and 80 percent have more.

It is thus a plausible dividing line between poor and nonpoor.

40th percentile is income level at which 40 percent of the families are poorer and 60 percent are richer.

And similarly for 60th, 80th, and 95th percentiles.

95th percentile is the best dividing line between the rich and the nonrich that the data permitted Professor Bartels to study.

Palin is NOT at all like us. Sure she comes from a state that is part of us as a whole but she's about as separated from us as that state is.
