News accounts, including on CNN, report that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be doing more than dropping the puck during her visit to St. Louis later today.
Various sources (including some partisan ones) say that the Alaska governor also will be deposed by lawyers in connection with the "Troopergate" controversy, which centers on allegations that she and her husband had tried to use her clout to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as an Alaska state trooper.
St. Louis sources say the deposition will taken in Palin's hotel room here. (For security and news reasons, we are NOT disclosing where she is staying.)
