Publicly vetting a candidate is so interesting:

After taking over as Mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Palin fired the longtime local police chief. The former police chief, Irl Stambaugh says he was fired because he stepped on the toes of Palin’s campaign contributors, including bar owners and the National Rifle Association.

It seems like if someone disagrees with Palin they get fired. Is that really the leadership we need in Washington? Donald Rumsfeld followed this practice, including firing Generals who knew what was needed in Iraq, but didn’t bow to him. Perhaps this should be the new Republican slogan; “They bow down or they get terminated”.
