McCain’s Palin Is Not A Hacker
Like many others, I was surprised from McCain’s selection. I’m not sure that I would advised that, but he did not call me. Googling for Sarah Palin, brings this interesting site, stating that she started her career as a hacker (some sort of…)
Sarah Palin, a libertarian and hockey mom from the fast-growing suburbs of Anchorage, began her political career — as an appointed member of the state’s Oil and Gas Commission — by hacking into the computer of another commissioner, Randy Ruedrich, chairman of the Alaska Republican Party. Palin was seeking the evidence that she would eventually use to charge him with an improper relationship with lobbyists. (Ruedrich would later settle state ethics charges against him by paying a $12,000 fine.)
Wired clears Sarah and explained that she was performing this act as part of her duty as chairwoman of the Oil and Gas Commission and its ethics supervisor.
We’ve seen hackers transformed, but we never had one (correct me if I’m wrong) changed into a VP of America candidate.

Many power driven personalities get to their power status by leveraging the gray area between the legal and the illegal.
The lucky ones i. get away with it and ii. refrain from those activities that will come back to bite them.

I should say, politics and religion provoke the very best as well as the bad side in folks. The very best because both can result in people being extremely kind, the bad side because both can result in amazingly obdurate and difficult acts. I am not attacking you, your comments simply made me realise this, so thanks for that.
