    Just for the record

    Two things:

    The article while interesting is very much a " he said/she said" style and since I do know both individuals personally I would advise a little more balance in this act.

    And for those of you posting comments about an Anti Palin Rally in Wasilla of 2,000. Check the facts please. The rally was held in Anchorage ( around 48 miles from Wasilla) and it was reported that there may have been 1,500.

    I think everyone should consider more facts instead of just gleefully tossing around the dirt that may or may not be the "truth". The internet sure has made politics a little more interesting don't you think?

    Got any intimate details on any other candidate?
