The question continues to be more about why McCain picked Palin than about whether there was any bias in this committee or not. I was able to predict a month ago exactly what the committee's findings would be: that it would be found that she was within her right to fire the commissioner, but would be found in violation of ethics rules. I'm sure that a lot of pundits predicted that this would be the conclusion. So either McCain hadn't properly looked into this inquiry and understood the likely outcomes, or he decided from the outset that they'd make charges of bias to discredit the report. Neither reflects well on the McCain campaign.
