I really don't see how this makes it better. This turns it from 'Sarah leaned on people to fire a state trooper' to 'Palin's husband went behind her back and used her name to intimidate people into firing a state trooper without informing her first.' Can you imagine what would happen if a male politician's wife was going behind his back like this? Can you imagine what Hillary would do to Bill if he pulled something like this? I'll give you a hint: it would involve some dull scissors and a lot of screaming. Todd Palin was running around Alaska essentially acting like he was Governor and it seems Sarah was, at least on some issues, oblivious. Who, other than Sarah, could possibly get away with this? Palin is lucky in that nobody actually cares about her qualifications, or her strength as a candidate, they just care that she's a woman who says she supports everything the Republicans support and has no opinions of her own. She's a nice little Stepford candidate. If they were actually worried about her ability to be VP, or President, this would be a huge bombshell indeed. As it stands, they don't really want her to be able to act on her own so this probably reassures them that she was a good choice.
