"Moreover, Palin is extremely popular in her home state; some polls have shown her with an 80 percent approval rate. The only drawback there is that Alaska Republicans have been severely tarnished by ethics scandals of late, and Palin herself hasn't been able to escape investigation."
Of course, the story turns interesting again when it becomes evident that the reason so many Alaskan Republicans have been tarnished is because Palin's been pushing, hard, against her own party's inethical conduct (she had to beat the incumbent in her own party to get in, and has not been a particular asset to the rest of the entrenched Republicans there), and that she's been fully cooperating in her own investigation. The people behind that investigation even admit that she's got every right, legally, to do what they claim she did, and they haven't been able to prove any unethical conduct... yet.
