I was reading the Democrats’ fact-check of Palin’s speech (which I mentioned in this post ) and this caught my eye:

2007: Palin Vetoed $20 Million Toward A Fire Island Wind Farm Project. “[Sen. Hollis] French and [Anchorage Mayor Mark] Begich both lamented the [Palin] veto of $20 million toward a Fire Island wind farm project and connecting transmission lines. That money was part of Railbelt Energy Fund cash that Palin said she doesn’t want to spend until a study on energy needs is finished.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 7/30/07]

The Obama campaign is using the “nonpartisan” guy in charge of Palin’s investigation as a political prop? Doesn’t this basically end any argument whether Senator French should still be in charge of this?
