By Alec MacGillis; A01
...Palin says her time as mayor taught her how to be a leader and grounded
her in the real needs of voters, and her tenure revealed some of the
qualities she would later display as governor: a striving ambition, a
willingness to cut loose those perceived as disloyal and a populist brand of
social and pro-growth conservatism. But...[t]he universe of the mayor of
Wasilla is sharply circumscribed even by the standards of small towns, which
limited Palin's exposure to issues such as health care, social services, the
environment and education.

...The governor leaves behind several unresolved issues that could force her

silhouette as a vice-presidential candidate.... While Palin brags outside
Alaska that she battled the state's "old politics-as-usual . . . big
good-old-boys network," she will likely share a ballot in November with two
of its charter members: Senator Ted Stevens and Representative Don Young,
erstwhile rivals both struggling in their bids for reelection due to related

*A Police Chief, A Lawsuit And A Small-Town Mayor (NEWSWEEK 9/13/08*)*
By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball
*Print edition: 9/22/08
Eleven years before the current investigation into her dismissal of Alaska's
top cop, Sarah Palin was embroiled in a similar dispute over another
personnel issue: her firing of the police chief in her hometown of
Wasilla. Palin's decision to terminate Irl Stambaugh ... in 1996 ... led to
a bitter and protracted lawsuit charging that she fired Stambaugh out of
pique—in part because he'd crossed the interests of influential backers,
including bar owners and gun enthusiasts who'd contributed significantly to
Palin's campaign ...Palin denied these allegations under oath, and
ultimately prevailed, after a federal judge concluded that the mayor had the
right to fire any department head she wanted. Palin "made the decision ...
because the people of Wasilla had elected her to reform Wasilla's government
and he actively worked to frustrate those efforts," says Taylor Griffin, a
spokesman for the McCain-Palin campaign.
