    I certainly am not a Palin fan, but hey...email is personal and private so why should anyone be able to look at it?

      These are emails from her office and that makes them part of the public record.

      Unless of course she's got something to hide.

        Well Bush and Rove destroyed theirs so that no one could see what we are paying them to do.

        I guess that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

          Can you say "skeletons in the closet"?

          It's an old GOP tradition, dating back to the Nixon 18-minute tape gap, but we won't have to worry about it if McCain gets in because he still doesn't know how to use the "internets".

          I wasn't aware that political email was public record. I guess it is because I am am big on privacy. I stand corrected....thank you!

            Yes ANTINEO,

            I am also big on privacy, but if these emails come from the office then that is work product and I'm the boss so I DO get to see them...

              Most of the big corporations that have bought and paid for McCain-Palin have policies advising employees that no emails going through company computers on company time is private.

              It has been illegal to destroy e-mails or any other govt documentation unless for national security means for over a decade. By law the e-mails have to be backed up.

              But the Bushies deleted millions of e-mails, both originals and backups.

              Why reward this kind of behavior with four more years?

                I guess if you have to investigate something they were involved in yes that would make sense. However as usual the REPUBLICANS here seem to want to divert attention. SO it has to be assumed shes hiding something since the emails were asked for as part of an investigation into corruption and malfeasance BY PALIN.

                  Davyman57, I would say they should start picking through Obama's and Biden's emails when they are being investigated for abuse of power and corruption.

                  They are private until you are being investigated then they are public property. She should release them at once! But I am sure they are doing their best to delete the evidence that she was behind the firing of her brother in law! And the other guy before they release them!

                    Have you looked at the brotherinlaw's record. If he had not been given improper passes by his superiors he would have been caned long ago. He drove the state cruiser drunk and was cought. Under the table it went. His superior should have been caned for the cover up.

                      Who cares about his recore...this is a very American thing to do. Oh he has a record he must be the guy that did it. I can care less about his recore i care about how she handle it! And in my eyes she did a bad job at that!

                      Actually, her brother-in-law wasn't fired, but she fired the guy who wouldn't fire him.

                        Mail is supposed to be private. It's a federal offense to screw around with someone elses mail or mailbox. There ought to be some decency left that
                        we can at least have our mail unopened and or gone through.

                          Did you know that the Bush administration now listens in on any telephone calls American citizens make to or receive from foreign countries -- including Canada and Mexico?

                              That's probably been going on for years. As has been every phone call
                              in or out or around Washington D.C.

                              The federal government makes your mail private, I think they have the right to change that to non private. Freedom of the press makes anything you do news. Did the GOP party not investigate Obama? Why not Palin?

                            Wrong! The courts in Minnesota ruled that a teacher's email is not protected. if it is on the school server, it is automatically in the public domain. I say rip open the records and let them be seen.

                              "I certainly am not a Palin fan, but hey...email is personal and private so why should anyone be able to look at it?"

                              They're state governmental records and as such are part of the Public Record.

                              I'm guessing they'll be 'lost' like the millions of emails the White House 'lost' surrounding the dates of investigations.

                                Her personal email, from her personal account should remain private. But what she does while she is a tax-payer-funded office, on a tax-payer-funded computer, using tax-payer funded computers and servers, should be disclosed to the tax payers.

                                If they were a matter of national security, that's one thing, but somehow I doubt that is the case.

                                  If it were a matter of national security, she shouldn't have been using Yahoo mail (to obviously keep control over her public email records) and she shouldn't have been copying emails to her husband who's not even any sort of public employee.

                                No email is personal and private. Just ask W. Unless they're his, of course.

                                  What makes you think that your emails are private? Big Brother has them all.

                                    Yep. Unless you're using a PGP-128 variant, email's about the easiest thing to intercept on the internet.

                                          True enough. 128 can still be cracked by the NSA's farm, but the likelyhood they're going to bother with some podunk's email in 128 is still unlikely.

                                      Actually Palin has a record of using municipal and government infrastructure, including computers, to support GOP political campaigns. Indeed, Palin's Attorney General recently came up with the novel idea that the use of state resources by "state employees" (read political appointees) should not be subject to investigation for wrongdoing. One more example of abuse of political power.

                                        Simple just like when you work for a company any private emails that you send are open to the company to examine. Your using their equipment. The same applies here she was sending emails using government equipment, it should be open for viewing., especially in cases of wrongdoing. As the REPUBLICANS loved to say, whats she got to hide?

                                          Email written on the job is not private. If she was on the job, using puplic equipment, and accessing a public provided server; it's not private e-mail anymore. If I want it private I definitely would not send it through a work place service and at every job I've held at some point you are given notice that your e-mail are the company's property. Now, if she's writing and sending though a government service then they are actually the publics.

                                              Not when you're a public official. Any and everything that a public official does is "public" with a few exceptions. This is the continuation of the Bush Administration through and through. This nation is on the brink of collapse and we are a presidency away from an international incident. We won't have any allies in this world if Mccain/Palin is elected. Mccain is senile and inept.
