Palin says McCain will end ‘abuses of power’ in Washington.
Think Progress — On Saturday, one day after Gov. Sarah Palin was cited by an official state investigation for unethically and unlawfully abusing her power, Sen.

With his chances of winning quickly diminishing, McCain's campaign has promised supporters he would "right the ship" by proving he is not erratic and hitting hard against such accusations. With much anticipation and fanfare, today McCain unveiled his new attack on Obama......(drumroll please).......Obama is erratic! Does this guy have one original idea? His new line of attack is, "I know you are, but ...
