Going Rogue on Going Rogue: E-mails

Here is an it's reported and you decide moment..........

Palin also wrote that she was a longtime fan of "Saturday Night Live" and wanted to appear on the show. She wrote, "Let's do this,' I said. 'Let's go on and neutralize some of this, and have some fun!' Of course the idea was met with massive back and forth haggling."

But, according to an e-mail Palin wrote to staffers during the campaign, obtained by ABC News, she herself was expressing doubts.

"Still not thrilled with the idea," she said Oct. 14, 2008.

She complained about the humor against her family on the comedy program and said, "these folks are whack. … What's the upside in giving them [or] any celebrity venue a ratings boost?"


Hard to say what took place here on timelines, and how the comments flow in the book, but e-mails can be used effectively and can knock down statements to the contrary...

McCain knows this too well with his Blackberrygate fiasco...

And ended up with a lot more than we bargained for.

When we charged them up in the newsroom, we found one of the $20 Blackberry phones contained more than 50 phone numbers for people connected with the McCain-Palin campaign, as well as hundreds of emails from early September until a few days after election night.

We traced the Blackberry back to a staffer who worked for "Citizens for McCain," a group of Democrats who threw their support behind the Republican nominee. The emails contain an insider's look at how grassroots operations work, full of scheduling questions and rallying cries for support.

Emails can be faked. They also can be edited it parts left out. I admit I have been upset today seeing all the people who say Sarah is lying. I don't believe it.

I am sure there will be two sides to the e-mail saga.

Palin and her supporters from the McCain camp that followed her have e-mails too......

In the end, Palin makes a ton of money and she continues on to support candidates in 2010.
