So much for Republican's family values.

Actually Obama's poll numbers dropped numerous times behind erroneous BS.

Okay since we're talking about substance and criticism. Lets talk about her brother in law the state trooper and what most likely was her abuse of power, care to comment or is that too personal as well?

If she in fact did abuse her power, then hell no it isn't too personal. I haven't looked into the issue so I don't know what all happened with it, but if she did something wrong then use it. That's the kind of thing that should be brought up.

I went to Alaska last month and it was front page news.. I mean plastered all over the newspaper which is why I was shocked McCain chose her.

Alaska Governor and presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee for the 2008 United States presidential election Sarah Palin is currently, as of August 2008, being investigated by an independent investigator hired by the Alaska Legislature to determine whether she abused her power when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan in July 2008.Palin denies wrongdoing, and the investigator's report is expected before the November 4, 2008 presidential election.

Palin says that she dismissed Monegan because of performance-related issues. However, Monegan says that his dismissal may have been tied to his reluctance to fire Mike Wooten, an Alaska State Trooper who is also Palin's ex-brother-in-law. Wooten was disciplined in 2006 for making a death threat against Palin's father, though he denied the accusation.
