Why are the polls close given so much Republican baggage? I expected a lead of at least 12% in favor of Obama-Biden. I'm confused. Why are the polls close given so much Republican baggage?

If she has nothing to hide, then why fight it!!! Also, she is blaming Obama for starting the investigation. Yea, right! Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought this investigation started before she was even brought on board the Republican "train to no where". I guess the McCains can make this go away, but that sure won't answer any questions and make it apparent that the type of ruling she does is just that. She rules with an iron fist. Out of my way if you disagree with me and I'll give you a great job w/ great pay if you do. How many different ways does the press have to put these things out there before people see what Palin really is and get as far away from her and her high-handed politics as they can. Tina Fey does a better job of Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin does. This is the last straw. If she has nothing to hide, then why fight it!!!

This a legistative investigation being conducted by an bipartisain commission so that no one can claim political biais.

If there no smoke why not let the fireman in so you get a clean bill of health, on the other hand where there's smoke there is normally fire.

The investigation as I understand it was on going before she became the VP. If she has nothing to hide, why stop now Palin. Come clean and show the people of Alaska and the other states you did nothing wrong. If you do not this will be hanging over you for years to come. McCain I believe did not do his home work on picking his VP, if he did he would have known that there was an investigation going on with his choice of VP. Looking at what she would be doing as VP it is not much, they have given her the job if elected that they know she cannot mess up. People of America, do you really want another 4 years of Bush, because if you put McCain into office that is what you will have. For him to state that nothing is wrong and then the news comes about Wall Street tumbling, there is something wrong here. McCain better do his research on things before he opens his mouth on what is going on in the good USA.

Palin did something inappropriate. Of course, the plaintiffs will claim that there is no cooperation between the McCain/Palin campaign and these five legislators, but we all know that there certainly is. It may not be explicit, but there certainly is cooperation. As someone who was undecided on whom to vote for, this really makes the decision easy. This definitely makes me want to vote for Obama. I am sure this is going to backfire on the McCain/Palin camp. If they are suing to stop an investigation, regardless of whether it has ulterior motives or not, it makes me thing that Gov.

They are willing, however, to let a personnel board probe continue. Who are the people on the personnel board the republicans are willing to let hear the matter? Are they Palin appointees/supporters? Something smells about this republican appearance of co-operation... The supporters of Palin are trying to block the legislative probe on the basis of the alleged bias of the investigators.

That is clear predisposition thinking. in a legislative context, it is clearly impartial, aka red scare inquiries. Why would anyone want to be subjected to that. No "regular citizen" would deal with that. She has made statements on the issue, aka "come clean," but obviously her side of the events are not accepted at face value. They should not be held at face value. They need to be coorborated by other evidence. Otherwise, why have the inquiry? There are checks and balances in our system that keep those in power from abusing the power. they do live under different rules when those rules apply to their position of governance. if she commited a criminal offense outside the scope of her work, she'd be under the same rules as the rest of us. Please speak informatively all of you.
