AP: Alaska (Democratic) Senator to Retain Oversight of Palin Probe
Alaska senator to retain oversight of Palin probe

59 minutes ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A Republican effort has failed to unseat the Alaska state senator overseeing the ethics investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she dismissed the state's public safety commissioner.

Democratic Sen. Hollis French was accused of manipulating the probe for political effect on the national and state elections. Republican Rep. John Coghill last week asked the Alaska Legislative Council to discuss replacing French as the probe's project director.

On Monday, the head of the Legislative Council turned down his request. Democratic Sen. Kim Elton responded that he is sure that partisan politics can be kept out of the probe.

8. Email Hollis and tell him congratulations. this is excellent news.
They can't truly get this done without republican support and that he beat this down shows he has it. it shows how much the pugs don't like her.

10. No, don't. This isn't a sports game or a campaign win, it's serious business.

Let them do it unfettered by any partisan activity.

12. I thank Senator Hollis French
and his team for their perseverence in this investigation where the republicans seem a little too anxious to make it go away.
