Palin has ceded control of Alaska to John McCain’s campaign staff. That can’t be good for Alaskans:

Gov. Sarah Palin has surrendered important gubernatorial duties to the Republican presidential campaign. McCain staff are handling public and press questions about actions she has taken as governor. The governor who said, “Hold me accountable,” is hiding behind the hired guns of the McCain campaign to avoid accountability. Is it too much to ask that Alaska’s governor speak for herself, directly to Alaskans, about her actions as Alaska’s governor?

Apparently, the answer to the question is “Yes.” Instead, Alaska’s governor is speaking directly to the rest of America — and, like her running mate on the Palin-McCain ticket, is lying to our faces.
