In the end the "October Surprise" predicted by the head of the commission came to pass.  Although the commission was asked not to release its findings until after the election to avoid political posturing, they refused to do so.  Apart from tarring and feathering Palin, the report made no recommendations for any further inquiries or punishment, as it was understood that there was no case to do so.  No direct reports of Sarah Palin abusing her power were ever produced or asking for the official to be fired were ever produced, but that didn't stop the report from drawing its conclusions based upon conjecture without evidence.  Indeed, after the hoopla over the report subsided, the state personnel board released its finding that exonnerated her of any wrongdoing.<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081104/ap_on_el_pr/palin_troopergate</ref>

==Vice Presidential Candidate==

    * Palin believes that Ronald Reagan the Sky Wizard created the world...6,000 years ago.
  −
    * She believes in Abstinence-Only Sex-Ed, and thinks sex should only happen after marriage. Yet, she has a knocked-up daughter. (Well Abstinence education didn't stop her daughter getting pregnant and it's sad when teens like Bristol Palin don't get the Contraceptive education that they need.) Palin does maintain that abstinence is not 100% as shown by Sky Wizard's Son. It seems she opened her hotel door early in the morning wearing only a towel. Not exactly the best way to promote abstinence. But this hypocrisy should not be surprising; it is a trademark of the Republican party.
  −
    * She tells lies, although this is not surprising, either, considering that this is a common trait amongst conservative politicians. What is noteworthy is that she's extraordinarily dumb, even for a creationist.
  −
    * It seems that Palin hasn’t got 'round to studying geography. Apparently, she didn’t even know that Africa is a continent; she thought it was all one country. While the Republican Party may be full of idiots, don't they have someone who's at least marginally more suitable as Vice President? It looks like they don't.
  −
    * She abused her power as governor in Alaska. She sacked Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. She says he refused to sack Michael Wooten, a state law enforcement official, and Mr. Wooten was unsuitable for the job. Her opponents say this was a family dispute, because Mr. Wooten was involved in a bitter divorce action against Palin’s sister. Sensible people know that when something like that happens you get an impartial person to decide who should be sacked. Even sysops on wikis know that if they have a personal dispute and the other party seems to need a block you get an impartial admin to deal with it.

    He (McCain) also said his running mate Sarah Palin inspired people and predicted she "would play a big role in the future of this country". [1].
  −
  −
Does that mean she’ll carry on embarrassing the Republican Party and the United States?
  −
  −
    * For a simulation of a hypothetical McCain-Palin presidency, watch Evita.
