| #6 She may have needed to do something along these lines. Remember, she ran against the Republican party's favored incumbent and beat him in the primary. The Ted Stevens etc. crowd would love to see her fail. |

| #5 "The guy's superior was a Dem appointee that Palin unwisely kept on when she took office, as a gesture of bipartisanship." The Repubs have got to quit doing that. It's never returned in kind, and the Dems see it as a sign of weakness/agreement with them (but I repeat myself). |

| #3 Yeah, well the guy wasn't being fired by the appropriate person, so Palin stepped in. And Todd Palin felt strongly that the guy was a threat to his family. And the guy drank on the job, tasered an 11-year-old, and collected work comp falsely. Good for her for stepping in before someone got killed. Alaska is "small town" and the guy's superior probably couldn't bring himself to fire his buddy. |

| #2 I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that there is politics going on in this election!Doesn't Gov. Palin know that you are supposed to use your power to keep officers like this ON the force, rather than have them fired! |

| #1 Fox subheadline - "Ethics inquiry concludes Palin was 'proper and lawful' in firing a state commissioner, but...". So everything else is just political hack opinion. Guess what will be emphasized in the rest of the MSM? [rhetorical question]. |
