Her posturing is sickening!

HEY MAVERICK YOUR NEXT

OBAMA/08

I think they call it the pot call the kettle black. She really needs to sit her but down somewhere. Oh I forget she will be after Nov 4th.

Are comments being evaluted or something? Hmmm, I am curious that if this is that a person can not say their opinion or something?

Palin should call on herself to resign for being found guilty of ethics violations & violating the people's trust. Is there no end to the hypocracy of this liar with a microphone? Sarah Palin is bad actress at best.

Who wants to bet that Palin will appoint herself as Senator?

Palin "palled around" with a now convicted felon…she ran Steven's PAC up here in Alaska. Why isn't this more of a story today?

As much as I don't want her back here in Alaska, I REALLY don't want her anywhere near the White House! Send her back here so we can go about the business of impeaching her from the governorship.

Why didn't she herself resign after the abuse of power finding in Troopergate?

Uh, yesterday she was silent on the issue but, I guess since McCain said he sould resign she didn't want to look like a rouge!! LOL!!!

When are you McCain supporters going to wake and see these two clowns for what they are "Worthless"!! LOL

look who is talking about others having to resign, while I agree with her, if she truly cares about the betterment of the American people and this nation as a whole she will do us all a favor and take her lack of integrity, unintelligent, empty headed self back to where she came from and leave those who know what they are doing to take reign and make this country the nation of envy for the rest of the world once more. She can go back to watching sun sets over Russia.

WHERE are Palin's medical records?

I hope they do find a lot of alligations against her so many that she won't be able to show her face in politics again ever!!!

so how does mark johnson get his comment posted but half of mine never make it through the cnn monitoring? what a joke

I agree with everyone here. She is believes she is to be excepted from such things. She is going to lose her career as a politician sooner than she expects. You shoukld be careful when throwing your inexperienced weight around. I guess she has always figured she could get away with anything because no one pays attention to what is going on in Alaska and the majority of their population seems to be republicans, so why would they (or how dare they) chastise her for her indiscretions?

The highest approval rating of any current governor? Maybe that has something to do with the fact that she is good at hiding things she does and gets rid of people who may be a threat to her exposure.

Can't wait to see the chips fall for this one.

How can she be so vile and arrogant? "I guess a small town mayor is something like a community organizer, except the community organizer is going to be President of the United States", and the small town mayor will go back to her small town.

Shut your trap Palin and leave America alone.

If I remember correctly Ms. Palin, your husband had your house built by the same people who constructed the arena in Alaska. And it was done for free. So you need to get your lies together sister because they're coming after you soon. CNN knows this is true but chooses not to post it right now. But if you do your homework, you'll see that as she ended her stint as Mayor, she had this house built, by a contractor. This contractor was then awarded the arena contract. Hmmm. This was all orchestrated by Palins husband. Hmmm. Look into it people.

Palin is next with her abuse.

Yeah, he should resign, after the way he used his position to get people fired, and the way he charged taxpayers to live in his own house, and the way he charged taxpayers for travel for himself and his kids, and the way he charged rape victims for their rape kits, and the way he turned surpluses into $22 millon debts by building huge sports complexes in a town of 3,000 people, and…

Oh, wait… that wasn't Stevens. Well, whoever DID do those things should resign, too!

and that my friends is the MAVERICK THING TO DO

LMAO

OBAMA/08

One crook calling out another…interesting. She stabs everybody in the ack..watch out folks.

Maybe we should all call for Palin's resignition now….

I am confused — this is what she should do so why are we bashing her? I have as little respect for Palin as most people; however, when she does the right thing she should be accorded respect for her actions. Had she not done so, then I would believe she is acting improperly. I for one am glad she has made this statement and will put no strings on that statement of thanks.

Dose of reality here–Palin wasn't *convicted* of anything. The legislative committee specifically declined to include any recommendation of charges. Branchflower was the one who has on his own decided to try and convict Palin based on his own conclusions from the report. Stevens has been tried and convicted by a real court of law. At some point he might win on appeal (or he might not), but under the present circumstances, he should step down. And a lot of folks should get a life, and learn the difference between a corruption conviction and a tempest in a teapot.

If the Senator has to resign so should the Governor. Abuse of power disqualifies this banshee from serving in ANY public office

Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) should be handcuffed and marched off to federal prison. The man is a convicted felon and a criminal.

Geez, Sarah, at least Stevens bought his own clothes.

You mean to say

"The comments come a day after Palin had not yet been told what her talking points should be."

RC,

I would vote for Obama if I were American, however, McCain's body language has nothing to do with Hitler.
McCain can't raise his arms above shoulder height because of his injuries in Vietnam. When waving to the crowds, it does look a bit like a fascist greeting, however, he just can't get his arms higher up, due to severe fractures he suffered whilst being a POW.
Why can't Dems and GOP's keep to the issues here, instead of insulting each other??

Stevens should step down when Palin does. She is a disgrace of the Republican party. Troopergate, 83 IQ – GOD save us from PALIN

Whereas in the animal world where the adults sometimes eat their young, in the twisted [R] political culture, it is the young that eat their elders.

Only in America, can you be crooks and still ASK for more money and hold the HIGHEST POSITION IN THE LAND..

God Bless America! We're truly unique. Have you seen other countries? It calls for beheading and DEATH.

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

I THINK I WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 4 YEARS I AM WORKING ON MY SPEECH.

HOW DOES THIS SOUND IF YOU VOTE FOR ME I WILL GIVE EVERYONE A TAX CUT AND GIVE EVERYONE A $100,000 DOLLARS.

I BET YOU WILL VOTE FOR ME WON'T YOU.

IF NOT WHY NOT YOU BELEIVE ALL THE LIES FROM OBAMA!!!

Here we go again…..she didn't call for his resignation until she was told that's what she should do. She could have thought for herself by saying that from yesterday. Maybe her husband told her to do it…he seems to be pretty involved in the running of the Government in Alaska. If that ticket wins, heaven help us…..we don't want someone behind the scenes running the U.S. in case something happens to McCain, do we?

I just noticed on where I wrote my comments that it said,
"Your comment is awaiting moderation."

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND WHY?

If Stevens was a democrat there would be no calls to resign, he would be defended by the unmoral democrat party and would be hailed as a hero. Such is your modern-day democrat party.

Gov. Palin,
We too are grateful for your effort to "not blink" in stepping up when called to service. Now please do us all a favor and step aside. You may be qualified to run Alaska, but have no clue about the nuances, diplomacy or judgement to govern a country from the center not to mention intellectual curiosity and understanding of the difficult challenges facing the country today. You and your party only serves to divide and fear/hate monger.

This coming from a Governor who used her office to further a personal grudge and violated ethics laws. Who is she to be giving advice to anyone? This is another conflict of interest. If he resigns from the Senate, Palin can appoint herself to fill his Senate seat. Who thinks she wouldn't do exactly that or at the least, run for his empty seat to put her in a better position to run for POTUS in 2012 after she finishs throwing McCain under the bus in 2008.

Entrapment? Somebody knew what he was doing.. Who fill his shoes now??

What kind of egotistical civic leader wastes taxpayer dollars by requiring another election when Teddy boy is forced to resign. Let's just hope the good folks in Alaska take care of him the democratic way since neither he or his comrades in the Senate will do a thing to correct this situation.

Palin, inside trader on her great pipeline deal – just wait folks- its coming. She needs to step down and crawl back up north where we never hear from her again.
No more Pork for Palin!

Sarah gave her opinion on this as soon as someone gave her the opinion to have, good for you Palin!!!

Take your own advice Failin Palin!

Palin: When you're found guilty, we'll demand that you RESIGN- and live in exile in the Republic of Alaska! The nerve to the pot…!
OB08PLUS!

Now this is surely a Case of the Pot talking about the Kettle… Palin and Sen. Steven both should be good statesman and woman and resign from Public Office in Alaska and else where!!!! Let good, decent, and honest people rule our Public Offices!!!

Looks like all the hate mongers are out today.

The Corrupt telling the corruptor what to do. Will someone crazy glue her lips together/

An what about you Palin…Ignorant woman..You cannot propose anything .Every time Palin open her mouth she just insult and attack Obama,nothing else to propose.The first who should step down is Palin,that stupid lady who is just a distraction

Wow, extra mavericky with a side of fried mavernuggets!

Over the last few days the word SOCIALISM has been mentioned repeatedly by the Republicans.I will like someone in the Republician Party to explain what is Socialism in detail and not by taking a few lines of Markism.

Leave Palin alone. She's a maverick and deserves to say what she says, she'll be great VP to glorious McCain's president. I like them because they are patriotic, unlike Obama who's never served military, like biden.

what is she thinking?Shouldnt she also resign?She abused the power of her office and broke the ethics law! But it seems theres different rules for different folks.
peg,tenn.

Palin is guilty of abuse of power, will she resign? Will she even ever acknowledge her wrongdoing? Hypocrite!

this woman is confusing!
somebody tell her to shut the heck up!
too many noise no substance it's tiring.

So can we accurately say that Palin pals around with felons?

Interesting thought put forward earlier today…
Stevens resigns..Palin leaves the campaign to run for his seat in the senate, and McCain taps ridge for VP…..
I would not put it past the old fool.

This is pathetic. This woman is a liar, cheat, power abusing, hypocrite!! We don't want you here, go back to Alaskas!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

IF SARAH SHOULD STEP DOWN WHAT SHOULD OBAMA DO!!!!!!!

OBAMA IS THE MOST CROOKED MAN EVERY TO ENTER POLITICS AND YOUR VOTING FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

AMERICANS CAN TRUST SARAH BUT OBAMA AND HIS FRIENDS ARE CROOKED AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

She is probably thinking had he been convicted long before now, could have ran for senator Steven's seat, instead of being tied down in this sinking ship of John McCain's until November 4th!!!!

Did you all hear that Palin also bought her little daughter A Louis Vuitton Handbag for $700. A little girl with a $700 handbag. That is a thrifty shopper ha????

Palin said the $150,000 plus for cloths was not her idea and she obviously is a phoney.

I would love to see 6 pack Palin go to a Consignment store. What a joke.

What's good for the gander is good for the goose. Palin's ethics violations are worse than Stevens'.

Resign moose girl!

If ignorance is bliss, most people commenting here should be much happier than their posts show. It looks like soon you might get that CHANGE you can believe in. But what will you do when it turns into so much change that you can't believe it? The mantra will then be Change you can count. And when you tell the government they can't take your rights away, they'll just tell you, Yes We Can.

Have a good day.

To j. williams,

Jefferson was indicted. Stevens was CONVICTED.

Understand the difference?

I'm glad Sarah Palin is finally speaking her mind. Good for her.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

it goes to show that Alaska's politics are more corrupt than the lower 48.

After being found guilty on ethics violation, I had hoped Governor Palin would take the opportunity to do the 'stateswoman-like' thing and erase the cloud that is covering her gubernatorial seat, but she didn't.

To make it worse, she is now trying to be our VP. Don't you have some moose to hunt or something?

Interesting – republicans complain about democrats being stupid and uneducated, but in the same breath describe democrats as intellectual elites… perhaps it's those republicans who need an a bit more education in such areas as reading, writing, and logic…

She ran Stevens 527. This women is toxic

Of course she wants Stevens to step down!!!

The longer Stevens remains stubborn and makes this a story….

it hurts Palin!

Both Stevens and Palin are from Alaska.

Both Stevens and Palin are trying to get elected on Nov. 4th.

And Palin still has troopergate to deal with.

So Stevens' conviction brings attention to troopergate!!!

To "Mark Johnson":

I don't think its fair to call CNN "racist fascists"; they've had a lot of pro-Obama stories too.

Start with the (wo)man in the mirror. You were found guilty of ethics violations yourself.

Isn't hypocrisy wonderful?

Why bother resigning? He's up for re-election in a week, he'll probably lose.

Good question, if the good Governor is found guilty in her troopergate case, will she do the right thing? Didn't some court or independent council find her guilty of abusing her power already? Again, her and McCain making these calls for Senator Stevens to step down are political gaming, stunts, grand-standing to get votes. Trying to show their "maverick" reform. Get real! If Bush/Cheney were bad managers of the country, imagine someone who lacks the background to lead the nation and is clearly over her head? Whew, no way, no McCain, no Palin!

Palin has a lot of nerves considering there are major questions of her doing the exact SAME thing he was found guity of!

Also McCain asked the RNC to buy those clothes for Palin even though he had made an admendment to the Campaign Reform barring candidats from spending campaign funds on personal items, he said not so much as a bow tie should be bought.

So what made Palin an exception to his own rules?

Is this the kind of onesided "reform" we are to expect from a McCain/Palin team?

Does it not prove him once again to be a dishonest person when he does not even abide by his own rules?

McCAIN'S ADMENDMENTS TO CAMPAIGN REFORM

McCain offered one amendment that barred candidates from using campaign money for personal expenses such as vacations, mortgage payments, and clothing purchases, among others. Another amendment pushed for the campaign reforms, if enacted, to go into effect in 1994 instead of 1996, as originally proposed. Little noted was that McCain's amendment was identical to one that his Arizona colleague, Senator Dennis DeConcini (D), was set to introduce to the Senate, before McCain beat him to the punch by a day-a move that won McCain credit for the amendment.

I call for Palin to go back to Alaska. All in favor?

One more week – and then (I pray) Sarah goes back to Alaska!!! And four years from now, she'll be living out her own jail sentence (embezzling, shooting wolves from copters, more ethics violations, general stupidity – who knows; there's so much to choose from) and we will hopefully never have to hear her annoying, whiny, voice spreading lies and hypocrisy again!

This must be a joke!! Frist Stevens, next Palin. Maybe they will be able to share a cell!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!!

Obama/Biden '08

Time for YOU to go, too, Sarah. You did many of the things he did (like getting a house built by local contractors who you appointed to build a city building), so if HE goes, then YOU DO, TOO.

I hope she steps down especially if this next investigation also shows she abused her power. This woman is a total hypocrite. Those of you who support her are blind as a bat (or racist?)

Why don't you do the honorable thing and resign since you too were just found guilty of corruption and abuse of power.

Go back to Alaska.

Yea, Palin and McCain wants you to resign so if she can't win the white house she wants your job. IF she wins, she's going to be sitting in the oval office Chair more than McCain, and all he's going to do, is YES, I agree, we need more war,and Conflict to others, and send more of our Money overseas, Yes I agree whole heartedly. Come on people wake up, they say Obama is spreading the wealth around, hey the Republicans having been ripping peoples money off, giving it to CEOs and people are losing our homes, Jobs, and they don't seem to care, just as long as they get more of our money in their pocket. I've been a republican and no more, I'm for Obama. Vote NOV. 4 for him.

Wasn't Palin the first one to defend Stevens? What a flip flopper!

And what exactly does Todd Palin do?

Pot meet kettle.

Im a little lost maybe someone can clarify something for me.They state he was found guilty of lying and then they go on to state his pension and the only way he could lose his pension was to commit bribery fraud murder ect ect well he made fraudulent statements please tell me why this is any different than fraud?

As much as I want to support McCain, I can't get past the thought of Pailin on the ticket. Sorry folks, I just can't do it.

She's nothing but McCain's puppet. Yesterday, she says nothing about Stevens resigning, probably because he's helped her lobby Washington for her projects in Alaska. Now that McCain calls on him to resign, Palin chimes in with a "yeah, me too!"

Sarha Palin needs to step down as well.

Both these crooks should step down.

This is what is going to happen. Sen. Ted Stevens will end up resigning, Sarah Palin will run the sit and win. She will hope that, that will be her spring board to the presidency in 2012. Of course she is wrong. No 2012 for her

Oh gee! you don't think this self serving ego maniac is referring to herself as a "true representative" for senator from Alaska do you?This woman has been living off the Alaska tax payers since taking office while hiding under technicalities of not breaking any laws. Hey Sarah ever hear of ethics, morals, doing the right thing? Get a grip once you lose this election you are history, your gimmick didn't work.

But, Gov. Palin, will YOU vote for Sen. Stevens in the election over his Democratic opponent??

My guess is "yes" and I also think that if, by some miracle or the stupidity of the people of Alaska, he wins, Gov. Palin will nominate Sarah Palin for the Senate seat.

Well, if Palin is in charge of the Senate, can't she just dismiss him if she's elected?

If Stevens should step down for failing to report gifts, shouldn't Palin step down for abusing her office to pursue a matter of personal revenge, and shouldn't McCain have stepped down for his involvement in the Keating 5?

I heart hypocrites.

When will you resign for your violations in troopergate?

Should she do the right thing next? Why isn't "Troopergate" or Todd Palin's involvement in a group that wanted to seperate Alaska from the U.S. ever been talked about for more than one minute? Seriously; how hypocritical can you get! 7 more days of vacation for the family and then back to your home up north! OB08!

What the hecks going on up in Alaska?? You have Governor Palin found guilty of violating state ethics laws, abusing her power and staining the Governors office. Now Senator Stevens is a conviceted felon??? I thought Chicago was the home of dirty politicians? Oh it's that white privilege thing again huh? Forgot about that. Juneau does have a lot of snow, that's for sure.

The Mark Johnson comment at 3:58 IS TOTALLY VULGAR,

WHY HASN'T CNN PURGED THE JOHNSON COMMENT BEFORE IT WAS PRINTED?

THE MARK JOHNSON'S OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.

Palin? You need to resign!!!!!

Obama-Biden in '08!

speaking from both sides of your mouth Sarah!

You know the bimbo Palin is going to vote for Stevens.

does the pot need to show the kettle the way into the KITCHEN, do as i say and not as i do , is what PALIN is really saying..

Great!! Then she can resign with him, since they were both found to be corrupt!! Pack it up and go back to Alaska and on your way can you drop McBush back in Arizona!! Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

This was not a wise course of action for gov. Palin. Stevens and Palin go way back. He's got all the dirt on her anyone could ever want. Gosh darnit, he's going to let her have it now. Get her uncle Ted!

you should resign too your guilty of the same things.

Gee Sara, why bother stepping down. Colin Powell testified under oath for this guy…isn't that good enough for democrats?

Sarah should be careful. Eventualy when people start getting some answers about her home and who paid for it, her words may come back haunt her.

Now ain't this the pot calling the kettle black.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

She should have said that when he was first indicted. If she is really this firebrand against corruption even in her own party, then she should have requested this from day one. I don't think that she is up to cleaning house as much as she claims to be.

It is quite obvious that someone else wrote her statement, since it was so VERY grammatically correct and eloquently stated. I don't believe I've ever heard or read a single comprehensive, complete sentence that were actually her own words. It drives me insane when people in high positions of responsibility do not know how to speak the English language correctly. Thank God for speech writers.

Oh let the old man run. He's all done anyway.

Scott.. you make a good point. Though I don't believe McCain was at fault for the accident on his ship.. I do find it odd that his military records are sealed from the public. His whole claim to experience is based off his record in the military.. yet his record in the military is concealed from everyone. Shouldn't this be an issue?

Chris (SC),

You have a point. Now THAT would be an October Surprise.

What?

Sarah Palin wants Stevenson to resign? The Palin that abused her powers while in office? That is a joke, just like her clothes that she could have just said, 'If the clothes did not come from Walmart, then I am not going to wear them'.

Palin wants to be a VP even if she does not know what the job entails.

HEY EDW,

IF SARAH IS A PUPPET WHAT DO YOU CALL OBAMA?

OH I ALL MOST FORGOT A SOCIALIST!!!!!!!!!!

I call for Palin to resign…

Wow, she saw which way the wind was blowing I guess. Yesterday, she wasn't so sure.

She should ask herself to step down.

EDIT: that would technically make CNN McCain/Palin supporters if they were "fascists". WOW is all I can say.

Thats odd… yesterday Palin was saying it was a sad day for senator Stevens and she's confident he'll do the right thing from now on. Talk about flip -flops

I Call On You To Resign Power Abuser!

The big politicians in Alaska are mired in scandals. They all should resign. The people of Alaska are not going to elect a convict any how.

The repubs are doomed next week Nov 4th.

I'M CALLING FOR PALIN AND STEVENS TO RESIGN.xxx

Big deal. Fortunately, no sane people actually pay attention to you.

My eyes are rolling…give me a break. Ok you self righteous dimwit, what's next on your script? Read carefully now…don't veer off in a direction that wasn't written for you. What's McCain going to say next, Obama runs over little children in the street and laughs.
Obama/Biden 08 – Intelligence we need desperately!

Thanks, but no thanks to Sarah Palin,

Obama '08

Go away Sarah, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black.

Foolishness, nothing but

just another dirty politician from the alaska political machine

Mark Johnson- Nice language. There is nothing racist going on and fascists are extreme right wing….sooo technically that would make the McCain/Palin supporters.

Isn't she the same person who said yesterday "It is a sad day for the Stevens family, and a sad day for Alaska?" Basically, she felt sorry for him, since he was her mentor. Alaska, home of the corrupt Republican gang.

Thanks, but not thanks to Sarah Palin,

Obama '08

Testing the winds, weren't you Sarah? After McCain came out and said "resign", you did. "Spin, baby, spin!

Thanks, but no thanks to Sarah Palin.

Obama '08

Yeah, sure. If Sarah told Stevens to hang in there, the lunatic left would bash her for condoning corruption. Lying hypocrites.

Obama and his sickening supporters are going to get what's coming to them very , very soon. When things don't go well, they will do what Democrats/liberals always do– they'll turn on each other with the sort of hatred only a group of crazy people can muster. It won't be long.

Lol- Palin wants a Special Election so that she can can run for ol' Ted's seat. A job with lots of free goodies? You betcha!

Wow! People here make some of the STUPIDEST comments I have seen. What scares me the most is your right to vote.

All this Palin bashing about her abuse of power, yet, Obama can hang out with Ayers (who did donate to Obama in 2000, just a little more than an acquaintance.) who is known as being involved with terrorist acts, and yet not one of you will acknowledge it.

Don't vote for the candidates due to the real issues that effect you, don't disrespect these people that you do not personally know. For once be smart and make an educated choice. Differ in opinion, but don't name-call because of your own insecurities.

Way too much ignorance in our government as it is.

Palin of all people calling for a fellow Alaskan politician to resign after it has been found she received gifts from lobbyist and government contractors, after she was found guilty of unethical conduct and abuse of power. Wow, that's refreshing…….NOT!!!

One of the most intelligent things she's uttered since she fell out of the sky in August.

The pot just called the kettle black.

She couldn't tell us this yesterday because the RNC hadn't told her what her opinion was yet.
Next we'll find Cheney came from Alaska. Do you see a pattern here?

J. Williams: William Jefferson has not been taken to trial and found guilty by a jury. When that happens, you can discuss the similarities, but not until.

I'm an Alaskan and will bet my paycheck that Ted will be reelected. Alaska politics is amazing. This is the state will people will vote for legalization of marijuana and have an arsenal of weapons at their homestead –just in case. Welcome to my world!

I wouldnever vote for a cowardly act of murdering animals from a airplane. That is not a leader.

Also the pleasure Palin had in standing next to a poor Moose she just MURDERED with a smile on her face. Her little daughter was also in the picture.
She did not murder the moose because her family was hungry. She did it for pleasure.

Animal activists should all protest this. This has nothing to do with hunting. This is deliberate pleasure of murder as the one also in the shooting of a wolf from a airplane.

Very disgusting person she is. Murder of animals for pleasure is not justified and isnot a sport.

How ironic and hypocritical considering she should follow her McCain-approved advise do the statesWOman-like thing and erase the cloud that is covering her head AND step aside. Give Alaskans two real choices!

She she do the right thing next? What about "Troopergate" and Todd Palin's involvment in a group that wanted to seperate Alaska from the U.S.? Why isn't this ever brought up as a "vetting' issue? How unpatriotic and hypocitical! 7 more days of her vacation; then back to work up north!!!!! OB08! Good riddance!

Well CNN, there you go again! Taking an unflattering picture of a female running against Obama and making them look like pure hell. When will the media stop making this Obama movement more special than it is? It is quite sickening. You people in the media are not biased….I am soooo sorry to tell you.. You picked out your candidate months ago….I am a former Hillary supporter who would rather eat dirt on the day of the election than vote for Obama!

Show'em how its done, Guv'nah!!!!

I love how someone who abused her own power, used tax payers money to send her family on non-government trips, and should have to resigned herself, is calling for the resignation of someone who in a way did the same thing….awkward.

Steven calls for Palin to resign.

Flip. . . that is to say. . . .flop. "I'm a maverick so I'm gonna just send out this here lil' ol' press release thingy and follow what the old guy says" (win wink flirt).

McCain and Palin are copying Obama on some of the issues now that the end of the campaign has come. The terms, words, inflections and tones in speech that McPal are using are very close to Obama's speeches of the past several weeks.

Don't McPal have original thoughts to convey to the electorate? What a bunch of copycats!

Yes, unfortunately, he'll have to go. It just doesnt look good.

Can we get an investigation on her House? Did her salary as Mayor and or Govenor cover the 2.1 million dollar home she has? She stated that Todd worked in the oil field earning $50,000 a year so what gives with her house? We want her investigated too!

There is no entertainment I prefer to watching Republicans eat one another. Call it the Roman Imperialist in me.

Look who is really talking? Palin should resign as well. Will be very interesting to see the outcome of her investigation. But we all know they will not release anything until after the election.

She was found guilty of ethics violations just days ago… shouldn't she step down? Yes, using her logic. How insane is she!

Well here's a democrat complaining about the Chicago style politics, and voting the republican ticket all the way. Why – for all those childish comments/people represented above. Hatred is what you people are all about.

As governor of Alaska this is an appropriate statement. She should have been able to come up with this 24-hours ago instead of dodging direct questions. She lacks decisiveness. Lame Palin, very lame.

It will be interesting to see what she does when she is convicted.

Hmmm, maybe you should have done this yesterday, Palin?

I truly hope the good people of Alaska impeach this lying, conniving, typical self-serving politician.

I live in Alaska and am willing to bet my paycheck that Stevens will be reelected. The rest of the country has no idea of the complexities of Alaskan politics. It was a eye opener for me, coming from New York in 1990.

Yeah, so she can appoint herself to the Senate? Transparent as ever in your ambition, Governor. No, let Ted get voted out fair and square. Keep Palin out of Washington, where she obviously doesn't belong. She'll be impeached or recalled soon enough anyway – as soon as the Personnel Board completes its own investigation, or maybe when Alaska digs a little deeper into how her own home was built. Either way, what goes around…..well, you kno wthe rest, Governor. Bon Voyage!

If only that cloak of self-righteousness fit, Palin would really be something.

EDW –

Good point – I forgot she couldn't talk without her notes.

I hope Alaskan voters just go ahead and vote for the other guy, because if they don't, Palin's got a good shot at Stevens' Senate seat. Whether he decides to step down after the election or the senate votes to force him out, there'll be a special election for his seat in Alaska. Anybody doubt she'd win it if she wanted it?

Yeah, Sarah, Stevens should resign for abusing his power, pork barrel earmarks, and accepting illegal "freebies." Hmmm, where have we heard all that before?

Abuse of power
Earmarks – thanks but – well, just THANKS
Home renovations minus the invoice

McCain would like to ask Palin to "step down" too but he can't right now…

Good thing that Palin had time to talk with all her advisers before making this statement.

We need a leader who has judgment, not one who is the pawn of others.

Will there be any room left under the GOP bus in a week? LOL

Does anybody think she should do the same thing with her position of being a VP candidate. Stevens was at least qualified for his position cant say that about her HHHMMMMMM

Next please?

What a dunce – as governor – she should have said this yesterday … but it figures given she is part of the Alaskan "machine" like Ted … as Warhol says 15 min of fame – hopefully she disappears after next Tues … wishing and hoping …

What took her so long ! Oh, I forgot, she's a MAVRICK ! What a joke this person is ! She's just another "say anything, do anything" to get elected twit !!! . I hope the American people can see past "the hype", and see who she really is, a right wing, religious fanatic, feminist, not feminist, vicious , and yes, SNARLING PITBULL , in lipstick.

when is Palin going to resign? she doesn't belong on the VP slot, nor does she belong in the governors seat.

hey palin….now that stevens has been found guilty it is your turn. same construction company built your house as a kickback…how are you going to lie yourself out of that one. and just yesterday you weren't asking stevens to step down, but today you have had a change of heart. This is your mentor we are talking about. your hero. who are you really palin. i have heard "who is the real obama", well i can't wait to find out who the real palin is.

How is this much different than the Alaskan court ruling that she acted unethically. This should be the biggest story of the campaign right now. She was found guilty – Where is your coverage of this CNN. This is huge

But didnt she abuse her power shouldnt she step down and violating Ethics hopefully she will get impeached in Alaska!

I suspect that Governor Sarah Palin has her sights on being the next Senator from Alaska. The revealing phrase about Palin's call for the resignation of Senator Stevens is "Even if elected…". If Palin cannot be VP and serve as the "President of the Senate", then she will get herself elected to the Senate as Senator from Alaska.

She's a mess! She didn't resign herself after she abused her power

This seems to be a common theme with Alaska politicians…they're found guilty of corruption, but they continue to run for public office. Weird.

My wife has an interesting theory. It is…McCain and Palin lose on Tuesday. Stevens steps down. A special election is held and Palin becomes Stevens replacement in the Senate.

What is Palin going to do about Palin's abuse of power.

She needed time to think about these comments. Probably walking a fine line, because she knows she could be next.

Can't wait for Caribou Barbie to be sent back to Alaska. Not even sure the Alaskans want her back. The Anchorage paper endorses Obama and calls her "risky" .

Can't wait for Nov 4 th to get here so we no longer have to listen to her lies, not even half truths, downright lies. What goes around comes around. Better duck Sarah.

It is funny that Palin is asking Stevens to resign .She has to resign first and ask him to resign OR just keep quiet.

I think she's absolutely right. And she should step down too. As Governor. She betrayed the people of Alaska. She abused her power and was in clear violation of Alaska Ethics Laws when she allowed her husband to use her office to have a State Trooper fired. Shame on her.

Does this mean she is going to resign next????

What a Maverick…she didn't call for his resignation until McCain did..way to buck the good old boys Sarah….what a fraud….

Guess the pressure got to her. What would be funny is if Stevens called to Sarah Palin to resign since she's been found guilty of breaking Alaska's ethics laws.

It took almost 24 hours for her informed opinion, while Americans knew right from wrong instantaneously. Politicians operate from a different moral level…………….what ever can get them elected.

dum, dumb was just saying this morning that she did not know whether to vote for him and hours later, she's calling for his resignation.

I guess Palin just received her talking points. I wonder if she has any self-esteem left after dealing with mcbush.

Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air. If my nephew was shot by a trooper with a stun gun he should have been fired. Sarah did the right thing in trying to get him fired. Go Sarah Go. I've been a Democrat all my life but after Obama stole-yes stole the nomination from Hillary, I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher. Shame on all of you female haters.

Barb

The Maverick finally speaks on the issue IN HER STATE! She had to first find out how Daddy McCain would directed her. Palin is a wannabe Maverick. She cannot make critical decisions on her own, nor can she make simple ones like what clothes she will wear. Stevens will not step down. The Senate must tell him to do so. Palin is not asking the Senate to do so. Palin is a pu**y, not a pitbull.

It doesn't matter who asks him to resign, it is still the right thing to do. I don't care for Gov. Plain any more than most of these comment posters do, but do we have to demonize her for everything single thing she says or does? Remember the part where we have to start reaching across the aisle after Tuesday? Ease up, already, folks.

i noticed that mccains body language is a lot like hitler. Another ranting idiot.

AGREE. Stevens – why don't you ask Palin to step down? sarah Palin has also been accused for excepting free travel for her and family from oil companies. Also the travel expenses she submitted reimbursment for her and her family for traveling with her on NON business travel.

Of course, she said it herself, she wants to allow a special election so she can appoint a Republican. That it way better than letting a Democrat win. Sarcasm.

He was the one who wanted to rush the trial so that it would be over before the election, he lost. He has to live with his decision. If he had stepped aside months ago, you would have been able to put another Republican on the ticket who would have had a chance.

Deal with the consequences of your actions.

it's been a year now and William (cold cash) jefferson still hasn't resigned…OHHH. i forgot he's a Democrat and hiding under Nancy Pelosies' pants suit….

another one rides under the bus

Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? Hello Troopergate! Didn't she also try to charge the state of Alaska for her children's travel expenses to functions they weren't even invited to?? Hmm…..smells like hypocrisy to me! Not only that, but apparently Caribou Barbie had to check in with McCain yesterday before she could give her response today.

Yea, because she wasn't found guilty recently as well or anything… Is this woman crazy? Well, yea she is.

Palin is going to run for this office. This was planned to give her more credibility for the 2012 ticket against Senator Hilary Clinton. These republicans are too transparent.

I wonder if she will be so inclined if/when she is found guilty by her Personnel Board investigation. Seriously, would she stand beside Stevens and defend him? All this means is that she's not disobeying ALL of her orders from party central.

Wait, wasn't she the first one to come out saying to lay off this guy????

She should pack her bags as well. She was convicted of abuse of power.

Palin is a hypocrite. She needs to take her own advice and step down as Governer when she returns after Nov. 4th

What a puppet on strings this woman has become- it's really sad. You know she's only asking for his resignation because McCain did so. She wouldn't have done it on her own, because she doesn't want to appear "rogue"…

She's not going rogue! She's going Stupid er!!!

The audacity of this woman. I guess she still thinks that abusing power isn't illegal. Besides for Troopergate, isn't there more scandals involving this bimbo.

sen. stevens wont resign because he is needed to suppress the rising of the democrats false messiah. sen. stevens is a powerhouse that democrats cant deny. there are a whole lot of corruption on the democratic side too, why arent they being exposed. the msm knows about alot of democratic corruption, theyre just bias

Palin has the right IDEA, but if she is not careful she will find that she is going to have to answer the same question about her own PROBLEMS.

WHAT A WHOOPI CUSHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flip Flopper!

Palin was found guilty in troopergate of abusing her power – that's worse than taking money in my opinion. Off with her crown!

Sure would love to hear more about Palin from Stevens – bet he has tales to tell…

Palin/Bush are the gifts that keeps on giving.

Ms. Palin. After being found guilty of abuse of power, I would have hoped you would take the opportunity to do the statesman-like thing and erase the cloud that is covering your governing of Alaska.

"Even if elected on Tuesday, Senator Stevens should step aside to allow a special election to give Alaskans a real choice of who will serve them in Congress." Wow, I can't imagine who Sarah thinks should take his U.S. Senate seat even if he wins next Tuesday…who could she POSSIBLY have in mind?

Palin is Governor, Stevens is Senator. He may not outrank her, but she certainly doesn't outrank him. Is it appropriate for her to make statements like this?

Suppose Stevens said Palin should step down because of her own ethics violations related to Troopergate.

Palin had to say something condemning Stevens for her own political survival. Afterall, she is trying to become the head of the Senate, or is it VP, I forget.

she does not know if she is vpting for him or not and now she is saying stepdown, what a joke

WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION TO RESIGN MR. STEVENS, OR SHE'LL TAKE YOUR SEAT AND SIT ROMNEY AS VICE PRESIDENT. IT'S A SCAM!

If this was 2004, we'd say "FLIP FLOPPER!"

Hmmm…so he was found guilty. So if you are found guilty you should resign. Hey Palin, can we expect your resignation tomorrow? You are a fraud and a neo-con anti american! You should resign and serve time!

Vote Obama: Because we don't need convicted criminals in the white house!

FINALLY…she puts two sentences together! Guess she had to wait to comment until the statements were written for her. Hopefully, she'll follow her own advice when she's found guilty in the Troopergate scandal.

I thought Palin was gonna vote for him. I guess the GOP told her to call Stevens for resignation.

His voting rights should be stripped let alone hold a seat in the senate.

How can Palin make this statement as she also was convicted of abuse of her power as governor in the troopergate decision. How come she does not resign her position as Governor of Alaska and also as the Vice President with McCain. One crook making a comment about another crook.

Palin may be the next one to step down. She was found guilty of abusing her power as governor. The investigations should continue and all the corrupt politicians should be fired, charged and jailed. the american public wouldn be under the jail should anyone of us tried anything like this~

Alaskans need to elect the dem!!!!

Stevens can win on Tuesday, resign on Wednesday and Palin appoints another Rep. on Thursday.

Nice little tricksies…. This resignation shout out is a joke…

well in that case, Palin should also resign from being governor since she abused her power.

I BELIEVE EVERY SINGLE SENATOR & CONGRESS PERSON SHOULD BE CHECKED TO SEE IF THEY COMMITED CORRUPTION.

WHAT IS GOOD FOR ONE SHOULD BE GOOD FOR ALL. I AM SURE WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW.

Originally Boob Palin implied she as governor would pardon him since the whole thing was partisan rigged….. a change of loony toon for the airhead?

HA HA HA. Pray tell why resign? After all, Colin Powell with vouch for his integrity.

Accepting and not reporting gifts is less a crime than power abuse. If Sen. Stevens should step down, so should Palin; and so should many other governent appointed individuals whose vices and corruptions are yet to be dug out.

Sarah you are only saying that because it's election season.

I guess if He doesn' t Palin is going have him fired.

Why wait for a special election?
Save the tax payer money for putting on another election and vote in the other guy next week!!!!

Liar Palin also has a little ethics problem of her own that is rarely talked about.
Don't forget AIP, hard to reconcile their platform you supported via promotioanl speeches, and the first dudes membership. Explain that "patriots"

BO08

No Sarah, I think YOU need to resign!

Scara, It might be a good idea to take your own advice.

Obama Nation 2008/2012

Palin should step down herself. She makes it hard for us to defend McCain, especially with her very close ties to the Alaskan Independent Party. She has no business condemning her mentor when she has her own ethics problems

And, for the good of our Country, I suggest that you, Gov. Palin, resign as the VP candidate, because anybody with a brain knows that you are completely and totally unqualified for the position!

Obama/ Biden 2008

I think Sarah Palin should resign since she was found guilty too. I hope the good people of Alaska demand her resignation when she loses next week.

Impeach Palin

Impeach Palin

Yeah, they both need to "STEP DOWN". She is such a joke. I really wish she'd stop ruining it for "REAL WOMEN" that may want to run for a high elected office in the future!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Palin should show the way, she should resign for being guilty of power abuse!!!!

What about your home builder Sarah? Why did you wave permits for the construction? What are you hiding? Stevens buddies swinging a hammer on your your house? So you through him under the bus! Was that your handler's idea?

Ice rink supplier providing the lumber while contributing to your compaign?

Lot's of questions. So much for transparency.

…She abused her power?
Shouldn't she step down as well?

Palin – your Diva-ness is showing again!! Perhaps you could join Stevens in a joint 'we're stepping down' campaign??

There is this "diva" from Alaska
Who thinks she can do several taska
Her name I think is Palin
The whole world knows she's failin'
She wants to be President – just aska

Careful Sarah. Someone may start reporting on you getting your house built for FREE by the same contractors that built your beloved hockey rink.

Sarah, what were you wearing when you made this decision?

Hm-m-m lets see… Palin's house was built at about the same time as that Wasilla skating rink…you know…the one that isn't on property that the city had clear title too… Anybody check into whether kick backs built the house? Maybe it'sthe Alaskan way…

WASHINGTON — Millions of homeowners facing foreclosure got a bucket of ice water in the face from Senator John McCain March 25.“The mess you are in is your own fault. Don’t expect any bailouts from me.” That was the GOP presidential nominee’s message, stripped of election-year rhetoric.

Speaking to small business owners in Los Angeles, an epicenter of the housing crisis, McCain said, “It is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly whether they are big banks or small borrowers.”

How can someone who abused their power in office ask for someone else's resignation? While you are at it, what about Bush & Cheney?

Palin actually felt sorry for this guy…a crook..a liar..a thief…humm….what does that tell us about her?

…She abused her power?
Shouldn't she step down as well?

How about her resigning since she was found "guilty" in the troopergate investigation of abuse of power, event though she continues to boast that she was cleared. It's just another example of if you say something often enough you may get some people to believe it.

Is Palin going to be investigated too because she and her family received free travel from a oil company too.

This is important to know.

AW LADY PLEASE!!!

Sarah "The Power Abuser" Palin should step down as well.
She doesn't qualify to become a Vice President of any country on planet earth, even aliens in Mars would reject her.

If Ted steps down Palin could appoint the "First Dude," as senator. He's running the show there anyway.

Sorry, too late. She should have said it yesterday. Now, ALL OF A SUDDEN, after McCain asked him to stop down, she wants to follow suit. What a pathetic loser.

Does this mean Palin "pals" around with convicted criminals? She is such a hypocrit, she needs to step down as well. Did she forget she was found guilty of abuse of power? She needs to step down.

Oh, didn't she get her house built for free?….hmm,

I guess she's playing "Simon Says" after Sen,. McCain. She could have done this earlier. Another scripted response. Who is she, really?

Couldn't she have said this yesterday? Guess she forgot to go rogue! So when her depositions are processed, this means she will step down too.

Obama/Biden '08

How about you, Maverick ? Abusing your powers so mavericky ? You should join Stevens!

NO KIDDING…

WHAT ELSE IS SHE GOING TO DO WHEN NEWS OF THEIR IN-FIGHTING IS ALL OVER THE NEWS?

WE KNOW WHAT SHE REALLY FEELS…

WHAT A SHAMELESS HUSTLER!

so it seems approprate that Sarah also resign. Alaskans dont; wan tms abuse of power any longer. they are turned off by her and her lies. check out mudflats….

Note how she doesn't say he should bow out of the race – she apparently wants him to win, then step down so that they can elect a Republican in his place.

Palin has the nerve to talk about guilt. Plain is guilty of abusing power in th etroopegate case, she should not be running for VP.

And she waited until McCain spoke, no this does not fly. She had the opportunity to call for his resignation many times prior and she failed to do so. She is just as guilty as Stevens.

A lot of corrupt and abusive politiicians in Alaska, isn't there?

Someone must have reminded her of her "maverickyness" ;~). Elizabeth perhaps?

She should follow suit and step down over troopergate.

Attention Mccain Supporters…

Have any of you been having a hard time trying to post anything positive about Senator Mccain on this site?

Yesterday, I tried to respond 16 times to a lady who kept asking why I would vote for John Mccain…and CNN didn't post any of them.

Is CNN purposely censoring any opposing view or is it just my comments for some reason? It seems every comment on here is praising Sen. Obama and ripping Sen. Mccain apart. That is hard to believe since the polls are so close.

Just wondering…I would hate to think such a reputable MSM organnization would resort to this…but I have no other answer.

Deb,
Palin couldn't say anything yesterday because she had to wait to see what her campaign wanted her to say. Palin is a puppet.

Too bad she did not have the courage to answer this way the first time she was asked.
Seems she had to wait and see how McCain wanted the question answered.
This says something about her judgement, and it is not good.

CNN post this !!

Obama wants to burn the plank on both ends for small business (that's the majority of companies in America).

If you raise the min. wage and tax the business more, who suffers?
Everyone

Goods and services cost more.
Small business will fail and we will import more that costs less.
Jobs will be lost.
Tax revenue will be lost.

Your future will be lost.

Do not vote for Obama, he is not for you, he is for absolute power !!!

so should she. she is destroying the wonderful gop . it will be so sad to see them go.

lol!

Palin has some nerve…..after Troopergate (which is still under investigation and could still result in charges against the VP candidate) she really needs to keep her mouth shut on this one.

….and here's one more tidbit of info you McCain/Palin supporters might not be aware of:

In its recent endorsement of Obama in the presidential contest, the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, called Palin "too risky" to be one step away from the Oval Office. "Like picking McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time," the editors said.

The newspaper's editorial board concluded that Obama "brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand."

Obama/Biden – '08/'12

Stevens – why don't you ask Palin to step down?

Yeah she really sticks by you in hard times doesn't she.

One ethically challenged Rushpublican, criticizing another.
Throw the bums out.
Vote Democratic – Help wipe the bush-cheney-mccain stain from
America-

OB08

He should, just as she should for her ethics violation of abuse of power.

I call for Gov. Palin to resign.

I normally don't like McCain-Palin, especially the Palin half, but this is a really stand-up move on her part. Of course she will seat a republican until the winner of next week's election takes over in January, but this is still a bigger positive than anything out of the McCain-Palin camp the last couple days.

Wonder how long it will be until Stevens rats out Palin for something illegal she did with Stevens? I also don't see the difference between lying about troopergate and bringing your family along for free trips when they weren't supposed to but I guess there are worse things she could do, like win on Nov. 4th.

Sad part is he will probably still win up there in Alaska despite being convicted of corruption. Please Alaska voters show all politicians a lesson, you can't do bad things and keep your job.

So all of sudden she now knows what to say about Sen. Stevens!

Why didn't she say it yesterday? I guess she was waiting for McCain approval…

Folks, make sure to VOTE democrates, make sure to be part of history this year by helping electing Obama!

Oh this is so incredibly RICH! This Palin quote will be snapped up by all the late night comics immediately.

The IRONY of it all – You just can't make this stuff up – People wouldn't believe you if you did. lol

Right decision Sarah….now will you step down if you're found guilty in troopergate?

Sarah Palin's signature accomplishment — a contract to build a pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48 emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an AP investigation shows. Maybe you should resign for abuse of power…

I can see it now. Sen. Stevens wins on Tuesday. Sen. Obama wins. Sometime later, Sen. Stevens sees the light and resigns. The Governor of Alaska gets to select someone to fill the seat until a special election. The Governor of Alaska selects herself and off we go again.

and does this mean that palin will also resign as she has been convicted of abuse of power?

Look..who is talking…You don't have any morale to talk about corruption / power abuse… Step down Troopergate Gov.Palin.

What would be interesting to see is further investigation of Palin's connection to the same contractor who did the pro bono for Stevens.

Palin is too sexy to step down. If she doesn't win, hopefully she'll do a playboy spread. She's got my vote either way!!!

McCain/ Palin "The Goddess" 08!!!!

Oooh… bravo Mrs. Palin. Piphhh… When you are found guilty in Troopergate, will you resign too? I sure hope so. This is leading up to THE PERFECT STORM in politics. We are going to see the GOP house of cards blewn to smitherines. Should be a fun time. Finally, we are going to have someone ethical at the helm of this ship who will turn us in the right direction. VOTE OBAMA '08/'12!!!

Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. One more week and Caribou Barbie is gone, to face her own ethics problems, I hope.

So, Sadie Putin throws another buddy under the bus.

Nothing like stating the obvious…

But…what about that ROAD you built to Uncle Ted's HOUSE, Mrs. Palin?

I thought he was your MENTOR?

No loyalties in politics.

I am calling for Palin to resign!

Interesting . . . so should Palin follow her own advice and also do the statesmen-like thing and resign from her campaign for being found guilty in her abuse of power case?

FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH GOV. PALIN…HE SHOULD STEP DOWN…IF CONVICTED FELONS CANNOT VOTE WHY HAVE THEM VOTING IN THE SENATE…AND ANOTHER THING I DO NOT LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY OH MILITARY IS REPUBLICAN…HOW DO YOU KNOW…IN TODAYS MILITARY THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND GUESS WHAT WE ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA!!!!

Hopefully Stevens will be replaced with a Democrat, but I'm sure they'll elect TODD PALIN. lol lol lol

Democrats failings = Affairs and lying about them (Clinton, Mahoney, Spitzer, ect…)

Results: At most, a failed marriage, and another pissed off individual.

GOP failings = Misuse of their elected official power (W, Palin, Stevens, ect…)

Results: $300+ billion war, thousands of dead soldiers, Oil companies making record profits with $4.00+ gasoline, ect…

Whom would you rather elect?

Vote Democrat '08

Hey – she abused power – she should do the right thing and step down too. What a joke. I think someone needs to investigate all the stuff going on in Alaska. Maybe they have been left to their corrupt ways TOO LONG.

Lets hope so for the sake of alaskens.

Well, a bi-partisan investigation proved that Palin was guilty of breaking ethics law……why doesn't she step down?? Oh that's right…..we're all supposed to act like that didn't happen. Also, she worked on Stevens PAC committee and was a big supporter. Watch out everyone……she's a backstabber. Don't think I want her working with other nations.

why did she wait so long to make a statement?
sen. stevens' feelings and this notion of being "statesmen-like" should not be a concern of gov. palin's. the senator flat out got caught accepting bribes and should have been admonished by the mccain campaign as soon as the verdict came down.
sen. stevens is too old to get into these shananigans; dude made his bed and now can lie in it.

If a felon can't vote – how can they possibly legally hold office?

Pot, Meet Kettle.

Right, but the Alaskan jury that found YOU guilty of ethics violations was a partisan "witchhunt," right Sarah? Well, given her wingnut church, I guess she would know…

Any Republican who complains about Obama's "Chicago-style" politics should look to Alaska for comparison. Young, Murkowski, Stevens, and now Palin–all of them completely corrupt.

Alaska must be full of idiots. Hopefully they stay up there.

i think Stevens should call for Palin to resign

SHE better be willing to resign after SHE is found guilty of abusing HER power, the hypocrite!

Be very careful about what you say Palin, it´ll come back to bite you someday… Do unto others….

Alaska needs to investigate how Palin built her house. The Maverick again crime. Yea! right. It took her long enough to decide he needed to resign and she probalby wouldn't vote for him I bet Stevens has so much on her. Stevens trained Palin.

Troopergate
Taisergate
Abuse of Power
Ethics Violations
Palin's house???????????

I voted October 20th for Barack Obama

Let just hope Sara Palin take her own advice when she gets back to
her state. Alaskans can do better with out her.

Palin should follow suit and do the same thing. Just resign from politics all together.

Be carefull Sarah I'm sure he could end her career !

I gotta admit, this is ONE THING I actually agree with her on.

Chris from NC

Please half-wit, spare us your self-rightous indignation, remember you were found guilty of abuse of power.

If you think he should resign then when can we expect your resignation?

Guess she had to wait for instructions before responding to this.

Sooo, he was found to be guilty of ethics and so was Palin but she is calling the kettle black? Wow!

I just love the U.S.A. Convicted felons can’t vote but a convicted felon can run for the Senate. Priceless. Only in the U.S.A.

THIS GUYS ARE CLOWNS.

Yesterday Palin basically said she thought that Stevens would do the right thing from now on……another flip flop. I guess McCain wants him to step down cuz he puts a dark spot on the republican party. To late.

I think Palin should resign as well and she can take McCain with her.

If and when "Troopergate" is finally exposed we'll see if good ole Sarah will resign her Gov. position. I doubt it….she thinks too highly of herself. Palin is a foolish idiiot.

Oh now, let's just elect Stevens' opponent and we won't need any silly special election. Besides, if elected, Stevens won't resign. Which means you'll have to haul him off the Senate floor in handcuffs. Not a pretty picture for the minority party.

Thanks Palin!! That's what you call cleaning up washington. Get rid of the corruption.

Gee I wish I gave a gosh diggity darn what she said. One more week folks. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 2008. Hope Palin is the next one to step down.

Palin should look after her own future in Alaska – her vice presidential run is coming to a close. Better luck in Alaska after they decide what to do with your ethics violating self.

McCain says this sort of corruption must end once and for all. Sarah must be gettin' kinda nervous, ya kmow?

She is only saying this now because the top of the GOP ticket said it yesterday.

I'M CALLING FOR PALIN AND STEVENS TO RESIGN.

… And by the same token, Stevens should call for Palin to resign.

It looks like Governor Palin is focusing on Alaska issues again. After Tuesday, that will be her main focus anyway.

I think Sarah should resign, for been found guilty for her abuse of Power…….and useing tax payers in alaska to shofer her family around, and recieving favors from the people that built the wasilla center for 25 million, that caused the city to be in so much debt….

SARAH YOU SHOULD RESIGN

Why don't you follow him falin?

So when will she resign???

Is Palin going to resign to for here ethics violation as well?

You should Pale-in to resign

Now lets go after all the corruption. Troopergate should be made open to the public so we can see how honest and fair that investigation is going. Also, what about the Navy cover up of the fatal accident at the gates of the Virgina navel base in 1964. Did he kill someone and then have it covered up – the people would like to know.

Palin voting democratic . . . come on the irony is great!

POT Meet Kettle…its black

Hey Sarah Palin, it looks like there will be a senate seat open for your state. Please just go home and think about running for that, and leave our country alone. You know you want to along with your husband Todd!

So Gov Palin are you going to step down because you were found guilty of abusing your power? That would be something a person of honor or Pro American would do. How about that?

Sarah I think both you and John should step aside. Your rallys have been nothing but hate rallys and all your attacks are nothing but vicious and hate ful.

Geez! Took her long enough. She couldn't have said this yesterday getting on that plane??

You first, you were found to have abused your power before Stevens was found guilty. Walk the walk big mouth, we want to be rid of you.

This is funny coming from someone who was found to have abused her authority. Duh!!!! Troopergate and lying on expense vouchers about her kids travel!!!!! Also, I hear that she has a home that received some questionable renovations also. Wonder if she will step down also once this is investigated.

I can't wait for someone to give a similar speech to her.

will she do the same when troopergate and the information on her and hubby's dealing on their house comes to light?

Yesterday she gave no comment when she was asked if SHE thought Stevens should resign; she had to wait for McCain to TELL her what to say, but considering how often she's been "off topic" on her talking points, she could have given her opinion, if she had one, when initially asked. I am so glad I already voted for the ticket where both candidates have useable, operative brains.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!

So does this mean that if Palin is found guilty in the troopergate investigation that she will step down?

Could we be expecting the same from Governor Palin?

palin should resign first

What about the 1/2 million dollar Palin house that was built "with the help of contractor buddies'???

Palin could not tell what she would recommend for the best course of action because the McCain camp had not told her what the best course of action should be. She had to what on the fax to get to her from the McCain camp. In other words, Palin not allowed to think for self!

why didn't she say that yesterday, when asked? She should have not even stepped in! What a loser!

I cannot stand this woman!

Americans call on Sarah Palin to also resign

Is she fgoing to resign as well? ABUSE OF POWER

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

So who is going to call Sarah Palin for her to resign?
