The Alaska ethics investigation report is due 4 days before the election.

What a remarkable coincidence.

I wonder how that will turn out. Clear her, condemn her, or be ambiguous, but I reckon by that time most people will have made up their minds.
It makes the choice of Palin seem very odd. Choosing someone who is currently under investigation for unethical behaviour, with the result as yet unknown. High risk.

It actually might work out beautifully for him. Choose a running mate with possible issues that might force a resignation, including legal and/or family issues. Get elected. Either the family issue or the legal issue prompts VP to resign. Appoint the VP you originally wanted, but who couldn't get you elected.

Say hello to VP Lieberman in 18 months.

This would explain why McCain picked her while knowing about the investigation and her daughters pregnancy.

F***ing brilliant.

Whatever. The facts are already known and admitted to by the parties involved. They are just investigating to find out if she was wrong in her actions, or not. Anyway, that issue isn't going to make anyone like or dislike her anymore than they would have anyway.

Her sister was married to a cop and in a custody dispute. The cop had abused her in the past and there were some other issues with him that you might not like to be swirling around a cop. His boss chose not to discipline him, so the boss got removed from his job. Palin's hack took fell on his sword and promptly said he did it on his own without her involvement. Whatever. stupid move but nothing unusual in the world of politics unfortunately.
