In the mid-1990s, the Alaskan Independence Party was experiencing a boom of sorts. A governor had been elected on its ticket in 1990, when the party was not even a decade old. And membership was swelling.mong the new recruits was Todd Palin, whose wife, Sarah, would later become governor of Alaska.

Supreme Court won't block Troopergate inquiry: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com
Thhe Alaska Supreme Court today rejected an attempt by a group of six Republican legislators to shut down the Legislature's investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin.he ruling means that Steve Branchflower, the investigator hired by the Legislative Council, will release his report as scheduled on Friday. Branchflower is looking into Palin's dismissal of her public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, and whether she improperly pressured him to fire a state trooper divorced from her sister.

Nah I know how to research and believe me I do so I am able to discern what to believe and what not to based on research and in many cases empirical data.

Depends on what else you are reading. If your sources are this forum you are in trouble. If you research and gather information from a number of traditional sources you can extrapolate that knowledge into informed opinions.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right: today's polls
'm short on time today, so let's keep this on point: John McCain is in deep trouble. In spite of some incremental gains that McCain has made in some of the national tracking polls, the set of state polling that follows is so strong for Obama that he continues to hit record marks in all three of our projection metrics. We are now projecting Obama to win the election 90.5 percent of the time, with an average of 346.8 electoral votes, and a 5.4-point margin in the national popular vote.
