Alaska Investigation
Gov.Sarah Palin of Alaska is under investigation for her role in firing Alaska State Trooper Mike Wooten.
"Troopergate," as it's been called in media reports, is set to have an official finding by the end of the week. The questions are about whether Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska overstepped her authority of office by firing ex-brother-in-law Mike Wooten.
When reports came out, Palin said she would not cooperate with authorities investigating the situation and declined to speak with anyone. However, Palin recently agreed to go ahead and help with the investigation and allow family and staff members to speak with authorities.
At this time, it is uncertain as to whether or not Palin did overexert her influence as governor. It is also unclear as to whether or not this will have an impact on the presidential election for Palin who is the vice presidential candidate on the Republican ticket.
What effect will Troopergate have on the McCain-Palin ticket?
