[A committee made up of 10 Republicans and four Democrats found Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power in trying to fire her brother-in-law. ](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/11/us/politics/11trooper.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin) Is this going to matter? Right now it’s the second or third story on most respectable news sites. I’ll definitely have to check out the print version of the New York Times tomorrow to see what kind of ink they give the story. What this case illustrates is not necessarily that Palin did anything that bad, but that McCain’s made a comically stupid decision in picking her. My guess? This may be the final nail in the coffin for McCain, but I can’t imagine this could lead to significantly greater electoral losses. Is Obama going to win Louisiana now?
