Last Tuesday, August 26th, was primary day in Alaska. Indicted Senator Ted Stevens was on the Republican ballot. He won a contested primary and will be on the ballot again on November 4th. In between, Stevens will be on trial for public corruption. Sarah Palin has a long history with Ted Stevens. In 2003, she ran a 527 for Ted Stevens. Not sure if the media will ever have access to Sarah Palin. But, if they ever do get to ask questions, here's one -- Is Sarah Palin supporting her fellow Republican, Ted Stevens, for Senate?:
As Governor Sarah Palin prepares to take the national spotlight tonight on claims that she is a reformer who fought corruption in Alaska, where will she be on the reelection of indicted Senator Ted Stevens? Earlier this summer, Governor Palin appeared ready to endorse Senator Stevens for re-election, but in her new role as Senator John McCain’s presumed running mate, will she prove to be a true reformer or continue to support Stevens as he faces seven felony criminal charges?
“Governor Palin can’t have it both ways,” said Bethany Lesser, spokeswoman for the Alaska Democratic Party. “Palin claims to spearhead reform in Alaska, rooting out corruption. But so far, she has stood steadfast by indicted Senator Stevens’ side. Alaskans and the nation deserve to know once and for all – where does Palin stand on Stevens for Senate?”
