So is that it?
Has the debris from the Palin trainwreck finally stopped raining down?
With the VP debates over, will the Republican PR people try and
gloss over Palin in an effort to get 'back to the issues' or will
they use our Pitbull/Barracuda to keep up the attack on that
Obama terrorist arab?
 
AP wire story:



Oct 16th, 2008 | LAS VEGAS -- Some spectacled strippers are looking to score some votes of their own, just for looking like Sarah Palin. A Sin City strip club says it plans to host a lookalike contest in honor of the GOP vice presidential nominee, and is bringing in women from gentlemen's clubs all over the country to compete.
They'll be judged by club guests on how they resemble Palin while wearing a swimsuit and how well they debate, according to news release.
A vote will determine the winner. The prize? A $10,000 package including a trip to Washington for Inauguration Day in January.
Officials for Club Paradise Men's Club in Las Vegas say they're holding the contest because Palin competed as a beauty queen years ago and is widely impersonated today.
Palin came in second at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant, taking home the Miss Congeniality award.
 
US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin isn't saying citizens interested in open government can't get access to her emails. She's just saying it will cost a little.

The office of the Alaska governor, which by state law is required to make such messages public, says it could cost more than $15m for anyone conducting an exhaustive search. Even then, Palin - who ran for governor on a platform of running a clean and transparent government - says requests won't be honored until November 17, two weeks after the presidential election is held.

It's fair to say that interest in Palin's email has spiked since Republican presidential nominee John McCain named her as his running mate. Not only has her office been swamped with requests for copies of state records, but her personal Yahoo email account was breached and some of its contents were posted to the Wikileaks site.

The leak offered evidence strongly suggesting that Palin conducted official state business using the very unofficial [email protected] email address. Messages sent to it bore subject headings such as "Draft letter to Governor Schwarzenegger," "Court of Appeals Nominations" and "CONFIDENTIAL Ethics Matter." Critics say her use of the Yahoo account could violate Alaska open records laws that require official communications to be available to members of the public.

An Alaska state judge has ordered Palin to preserve the contents of the account.

The emails Palin's office has valued at $15m were sent by various state employees to her husband, Todd, who is not a state employee. State bean counters say it will cost $960.31 to search each employee's account. If email for all 16,000 employees are processed, the exact figure is $15,364,000.96. They figure it will take 13 hours per email account. That figure doesn't include the cost of the paper. The office will only make the email available in hard copy.

Palin may portray herself as a Washington outsider unversed in the sleights of hand politicians use to keep Joe Six-Pack from seeing what's really going on in government. But in Alaska, she knows how it's done
