I've said that the governor's political ambition combined with her intellect is like a jet engine on a golf cart. Today, the legislature managed to find the brakes.

Todd Palin is far more than just the Governor's spouse. We are entitled to know what his role in a McCain White House is likely to be.

If the GOP swift boaters continue to disparage Obama, McCain's past relationships with supporters of paramilitary death squads and Palin's secessionist proclivities become fair game.

If McCarthy-era guilt-by-association is once again a valid political consideration, Palin, it would seem, has more to lose than Obama.

When it comes to her past association with the Alaska Independence Party, it is not fair to suggest that Palin agrees with all of that group's political positions. It is fair to ask with what policies she does or does not agree.

Given that one of America's "damned institutions" is the Department of Defense, this raises a few questions about Gov. Palin's strength on national security issues.
