JUNEAU - Gov. Sarah Palin today said indicted U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens "has dedicated his life to the betterment of the state" and said she couldn't say yet whether he should resign.

Speaking to reporters in her Capitol office at 12:30 p.m., Palin said the federal indictment "rocks the foundation of our state."

Asked whether Stevens should quit the Senate, Palin said she hadn't had a chance to fully read the 28-page indictment and said it "would be premature at this point" to call for Stevens to resign, as she did in the case of state Sen. John Cowdery, R-Anchorage, after he was recently indicted on federal charges including bribery.

Stevens, obviously, was the first name that came to mind after McLame's VP announcement this morning. So she won't call for Stevens to step down? I wonder if there's any there there.

She's such a maverick

if she does. No way will McSame allow her to do that. rec'd
