He said he was looking for dirt and found none. It was mainly personal stuff and some clerical mail. I'd guess it was stuff so she'd have access to it while traveling. I've use personal email for business while traveling because of the easy access (unable to access work email on the road).
It sounded like people's imaginations were making more of it that what really was there.
Based on the background, it was a kid's stunt that went too far. I doubt his father's party affiliation had anything to do with it. He simply went to yahoo and said he's forgotten the password. Palin's security question was "What high school did you attend?" That and her zip code was all that was needed. It's not exactly rocket science.
The real question, and issue, here, is why would a sitting state Governor use an easily deciphered Yahoo email account to conduct state business rather than a more secure public server???????????
Government officials who attempt to conceal their actions from their consituencies should indeed be punished to the full extent of the law. Especially if they are stupid enough to get caught.
Maybe he can claim it was something God asked him to do. A-la Palin on Iraq. That would excuse it, right?

Really. I thought jacking a person's email account was the "real" issue in this case.
Lot of people blaming the victim here. That ain't too progressive, IMO.

I agree. The Dems have taken a huge step backward since Palin was announced as Reb VP. They have shown what they really think of women and they have shown their true colors about a lot of issues. I'm shaking my head. McCain has to win; we can't let the side of people who think like this in the White House.
