No I’m from Alabama where politicians are under investigations and ethics complaints all the time. And I have lived in New Orleans before where this is also the case. And 99.999999% of the time when there is smoke there is fire on those ethics cases.
So no, given that my experience is that when politicians are investigated there is usually something there I can’t see why she is all of the sudden so different from the ones I’ve seen investigated my whole life.

Yes, but she beat the real corrupt politicians in Alaska. Google “Corrupt Bastards Club”, for example. Also, you may not be aware of the Machivellian mindset of the Left. Plus quite a few of those charges were brought by a nutcase named Andree McLeod who might best be described as a political gadfly. That is to say - Likes to see her name in the paper.
Known locally as the “Falafel Lady” she got her start filing complaints agint the Muni (Anchorage) becuase she was not allowed to open an “ethnic” food cart business. She finally got to open, but had to meet all of the rules.
Here is more info about Andree:

On the Frivolous charges, not only there was no smoke, but from known left wing operatives. All the charges where tossed.
A good friend who is a claims rep with the Co. Attys sees this all the time.
The lowest of dirt file claims to destroy people with lies or try to get money.
Know any Southern politicians that have had ethics complaints filed against them filed by an anonymous coward using the name of a soap opera character? For accepting a box of chocolates? For appearing in a picture holding a dead fish? For having a member of her staff travel with her (on McCain's nickel) during the campaign to help her continue her duties as governor?
That's just a few examples of the kind of crap Palin had to put up with and pay out of her own pocket to defend.
Get a clue.
