"I don’t understand why as Governor she was not able to marshall state resources against these foes,,,"

In every other State in the Union, if the Governor is sued, the State Attorney General, by Law, represents them in Court.

In Alaska, by Law, the Governor is not represented by the State A. G., and must pay for their own defense. Now you know why... because it's the Law.

Bravo for an excellent essay. In Alaska, by Law, the Governor is not represented by the State A. G., and must pay for their own defense. Now you know why... because it's the Law.

You will never convince the IDIOT PDSers with facts. Nothing on this Earth will change their minds. I try my best to ignore their rants.

You also have to include the fact that Sarah's defense fund was declared an ethics violation and $386,856 had to be returned to the donors. Imagine having this ruling hitting you as over $500,000 in costs were hitting your personal finances in legal fees. It was threatening to crush the Palin family financially. All the time, the Republican Party sat on their thumbs hoping that it would crush Sarah Palin and force her under a rock. I blame the Republican Party for their neglect.

This is all we need to say to those who disparage her. Alaska’s the only state that doesn’t protect its governor from frivolous lawsuits. Palin was defending herself from 19 frivolous lawsuits on her own dime. It was taking over her life, her finances, and her governorship. She won all 19 cases, by the way. Every one of them was groundless and she was exonerated.
