Palin trying to hide her involvemnt with Ted Stevens (ran a 527 for him)!
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 01:29 PM by catgirl
Anti corruption Palin has (very) close ties to Ted Stevens. She was a director of a pro Stevens 527, and Stevens played a
crucial role in her win for Gov. of Alaska.

Must read article from Washington Post:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/09/01/palin_was_a_director_of_embatt.html

snip-

Palin's name is listed on 2003 incorporation papers of the "Ted Stevens Excellence in Public Service, Inc.," a 527 group that could raise unlimited funds from corporate donors. The group was designed to serve as a political boot camp for Republican women in the state. She served as one of three directors until June 2005, when her name was replaced on state filings.

Palin's relationship with Alaska's senior senator may be one of the more complicated aspects of her new position as Sen. John McCain's running mate; Stevens was indicted in July 2008 on seven counts of corruption

snip-

Stevens had been helpful to Palin during her run for governor, swooping in with a last moment endorsement. And the two filmed a campaign commercial together to highlight Stevens's endorsement of Palin during the 2006 race.

YouTube video of Stevens endorsing Palin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaLPx86lMVA

YouTube: Palin's ad that was pulled from her website: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwcbBbVNIsI

Shortly after Palin was announced as McCain's vice presidential pick, the ad was removed from her gubernatorial campaign web site. It remains available on YouTube.
