According to the report

I personally don't think she did. However, I was not there.
One lawmaker has question the report saying "there are problems with it"
What are your thoughts

Well it is a bipartisan report, so I really don't know how it can stand up to any claims of being biased unless Republicans are trying to shoot their presidential candidate in the foot. The report doesn't encourage any sanctions, so beyond claiming she did abuse her power by pressuring the guy and the fact that "the first dude" is awfully active, I don't know what else could happen other than the guy now using it as a base to sue her. We'll probably have to see if the state does pursue anything else.

Bipartisan? Yeah right.
They just happened to push a "bipartisan" investigation during the presidential race of 2008?! I don't buy that. The democrats pushed this relentlessly for the purpose of hurting Sarah during the campaign.

From the Yahoo story at
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081011/pl_nm/us_usa_politics_palin_8
"The investigation, which was commissioned in July by Alaska's Legislative Council
composed of 10 Republican lawmakers and four Democrats, became politically charged after Palin was selected to be Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate in August."
Unless those 4 democrats were holding guns, I don't see how this came out without the Republicans.

Alaskan republicans don't necessarily like Palin either because she went after them as well. She is a conservative more than a republican; she is a maverick.

I don't believe that Palin abused her power.
And I do believe what could have been bi-partisan turned in to partisan. Simple fact that she upset the Repubs and Demos up there. After she was asked to run as veep, they came after her.
Hollis French, Dem said "October Surprise"
This committee was not even the correct committee to invesitgate. The investigator BranchFlower is a close friend of Mr. French and his October Surprise. How could this not be a "Gotcha investigation?"
The report, and I read most of it, said nothing criminal was done and she was in her lawful right as governor. It does imply that she pressured, but that is he said she said deal.
Besides this trooper, who tazered his step soon, known lawbreaker, abusive is still working. WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!
We have a presidential canidate who has known dealings with a domestic terrorist, his campaign has given over 800,000 to a fraudlent voter registration in ACORN, campgain people are attending extreme islamic meetings, he is lyning left and right about his associations. Hiding his past, and his two books are really tell all about his thoughts about America. A racist pastor, who now if mentioned, makes us racist. Somehow the media is more concern with a Gov who done right than a future possible president who is shoddy beyond measure. UNBELIEVABLE
Okay, now that I have vented, I am going back to football

The Maverick family seems to not like its overuse either. Particularly in regards to McCain.
