Hoping to hear the end of her. If she had an ugly face would the media stick around?

But no she will be campaigning for Gov. Rick Perry so now we will be left with her face and voice.

John Coale’s a little desperate to get that ethics complaint dismissed, isn’t he?
Was it Coale that leaked the report?

This must have already been posted, but it’s worth repeating. ADN is running a story tonight, “Who’s Tom Daniel?”
The world seems to have gone crazy this week. Republicans are upset that Tom Daniel, a Democrat, found probable cause of ethics violation.

This is not the story pasted here, but a combination of quotes from ADN and FOX.

John Coale is quoted, from emails he sent to ADN.
Coale accused the personnel board of being “either vicious or idiotic” to hire Daniel.
“Having him do it was outrageous and meant to make sure Palin was hurt. Your state has to redo the laws on this,” Coale said in an e-mail to the ADN.

“This is the only one of the six that I found probable cause,” Daniel said. “If you look at the whole record, it shows that I have not exhibited any bias.”

“They are trying to make the argument that because I’m a registered Democratic and have given money to Democratic candidates that I’m biased. But in fact, you know I’ve dismissed five complaints out of six,” Daniel said. “If I were out to get the governor because of politics, I doubt that would have occurred.”

Coale maintains that Daniel should never have been hired. The dismissed complaints “were on their face ridiculous,” he wrote to the ADN.

“With his firm’s history, knowing how controversial Sarah had become he shouldn’t have gotten within 1,000 miles of this,” Coale said.

“I don’t know if the guy is straight or not,” Coale said. “They should have disclosed this before. It doesn’t mean you can’t be objective. But in this situation, you don’t want the appearance of bias.”

“I find it a little distressing that the board is being picked on for hiring competent counsel,” (Deb) English said. Whether the lawyer was Republican, Democrat or some other party never factored in, she said.
The board considered a long list of lawyers for the work then narrowed it down to four with experience in labor law and public employment. One was too busy, so the complaints are being distributed to the remaining three. Daniel said besides himself, Tim Petumenos and Michael Geraghty are in the rotation.

I think that the ABC/WaPo poll, while gratifying needs to be viewed with a pinch of salt. Among other things, it is a survey of random adults. It is also directly contradicted by recent polls by Rasmussan, Gallup, Pew and Public Policy Polling, all of which Sarah Palin positive and/or improving favourability ratings. PPP, which is a Democratic leaning pollster shows her improving stronly among women, youth and Hispanics. for July, in a hypotethical match up with Obama, she scores 43% to his 51%, a gap of 8 points. In their March poll, the gap was 20 points (55%/35%).

Post # 211- CG…about what you have posted

It’ too bad some of those writers at the ADN don’t just stop by Mudflats daily to get background and sources before they write their stories.

Before they post one of van Fleins statements as the truth they could use the info you just posted and maybe ask him some questions or at least question the validity of what he is saying. They print what he says as the ‘ honest truth ‘ and question NOTHING.
The info alone you provided means they wouldn’t even have to do any research. You have done it for them. They do no investigation or research of their own. They print any statements given to them as the truth without question. It is pretty sad.
Like Phil Munger’s comments earlier this week on one of his posts, the Progressive blogs have the facts and information out there 2 days before the ADN even starts to do a story or investigate.
