Troopergate 2008: Power-abusing Palin forced to consider next move

Alaska's bipartisan Legislative Council unanimously ruled this evening that Sarah Palin abused her power in trying to get her brother in law fired from the state police. With the Troopergate scandal resolved within a month to go in the election, how do you think the McCain campaign will respond? Will they brush this off as a witch hunt? Will they use the opportunity to dump Palin for somebody a little more skilled with the media (and the economy)? Oh, the intrigue continues...

According to CNN, "Ahead of Friday's hearing, Palin supporters wearing clown costumes and carrying balloons denounced the probe as a "kangaroo court" and a "three-ring circus" led by supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama."
I think that's how the McCain crew will frame the decision as well. Who knows? Maybe they'll even wear the clown costumes.
Besides, we all know from a previous post on this blog that Obama airdropped attorneys and timberwolves into Alaska to carry out this very witch hunt.
