No Bombshells in Palin Emails
Newsmax
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — There are no bombshells, no “gotcha” moments.
The emails of Sarah Palin — more than 24,000 pages of them released Friday by the state of Alaska from her first two years as governor — paint a picture of an image-conscious, driven leader, closely involved with the day-to-day duties of running the state and riding herd on the signature issues of her administration.
She angled for the vice presidential nomination months before John McCain picked her — and hinted at presidential aspirations.
The messages give a behind-the-scenes look at a politician who burst onto the national stage after serving as Wasilla mayor and less than two years as Alaska governor. They show a woman striving to balance work and home, fiercely protective of her family and highly sensitive to media coverage. She expressed a sometimes mothering side with aides but also was quick to demand answers or accountability.
They seem to depict a more moderate Palin who worked to find a state response to global warming — she has since dismissed studies supporting climate change — and gave props to then-Sen. Barack Obama for his support of a natural gas pipeline in Alaska.
The records, comprising more than 13,400 emails, shed new light on Palin’s rise from little-known governor to national political sensation. The emails end in September 2008, shortly after her selection to be McCain’s running mate. It was then that citizens and news organizations first requested the records.

Wild Thing’s comment………
It has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the MSM is nothing but a DNC tool.
Is there another person on the planet who has been more examined that Sarah Palin? I can’t think of anyone.
On CNN, Anderson Cooper asked, ‘is there any AMMUNITION to use against Sarah Palin’?
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Rush said it best. They are scared to death of her and don’t know how to handle an honest person. She vied for position of VP on the McCain Ticket , Yeah, and how is that new. Isn’t that exactly what Biden did.
What they did find out though was her Husband Todd is a big factor behind her, they should have known that from the beginning, but as myopic as MSM is they couldn’t see that far until the Palins virtually put it right in front of them.
With this election coming up this is our last chance to get rid of this corrupt Democracy, that has crept into our system for the alst 110 years. Anyone, who thinks we are a democracy, answer this why is that word not even mentioned in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence.
Democracies never last long it soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. The ultimate goal of a democracy is Oligarchy. And That is where we are heading.
What’s disgusting is that the League of Women Voters was taking part in going through her emails. This group has always touted itself as nonpartisan but it looks like their true colors have surfaced.
Bob, you mention the League of Women Voters. In my area their true colors surfaced a number of years ago. The 2000 elections, as a matter of fact. I received a mailer with their, “recommendations, not one candidate with a R behind their name appeared. It has continued that way, through subsequent elections.
As far as the “Palin E mails Event”, it now looks as if it is going to have a short life, as far as the Media is concerned. The Weiner Gate, which they first ignored, seems to have taken center stage.
Even the Dems are having to change their tune in this one. Except Charlie Rangel, of course, and we all know what a upstanding citizen he is.
Wonder what Anderson Cooper, has to say about this, seeing as they actually found, some real ammunition.
Anderson Cooper in Egypt was complaining about being beat up by a bunch of angry muzlims. He reported the story himself and didn’t have a mark on him. Just wondering but who beat him up the Pilsbury Doughboy.
Wild thing these e-mails do prove one thing that Sarah Palin was widely and well informed before taking the national stage as McCain’s running mate. She did not need to “cram.” It was only the MSM sneaky, rude and glib questions that ever let them lie about her overwhelming qualifications.
In all my years (26) in the military, in all the different phases of Professional Military Education (PME), that’s how we were taught to bring up our subordinates. You “mothered” them, you take care of them, but you also demanded answers and accountability. That’s how you groomed your replacements and future leaders. The Air Force spends millions of dollars annually to train it’s NCO’s in leadership and management. It looks like Palin put in practice those same principals we were taught and I would venture to say she never sat in on a PME class
Sarah Palin is an American beauty in so many ways.
She never met him, but we know every time she wins he’s toasting cheers as in this great picture from a previous post here:
