Palin does not fall in the footsteps of Kwame and Edwards. The Enquirer released a story on Sept.3 alledging Marital Infidelity between Gov. Palin and a business partner of Mr. Palin. The Republicans have threatened a law suit but the Enquirer has not backed down and said a follow up story is coming. When the Enquirer told the truth about the Edwards affair. No media would touch it until after the vote. Yet the Enquirer was proved correct. I hope this is not going to happen again. All of this scandel is depressing. I hope that Gov.

This is about a Mayor doing an end run and making a 8 MILLION dollar settlement to hide the affair. The REAL issue is the settlement, not the sex. If he had not done the settlement, he would not have had to go through this. WHAT IS WRONG WITH CNN...This is not about sex.
