Hate to nitpick but Dwight ... she should be properly referred to as
Governor Palin ... and definitely not Ms. Palin as she is married and would
be a referred to as Mrs. Palin, except the Governor title takes precedence.

Note, however, that the only politician in this discussion currently
subject to public records access requirements for work related e-mails
is Ms. Palin. Just to clarify a point - this does not apply to
politicians in general, only those coming from executive branch
backgrounds.
One of the interesting aspects of this for those of us who are students
of political science and history is that this turns on its head a
political "truth" that has been floating around for decades - that
senators for various reasons can not become successful presidential
candidates: one reason being the documentation of their shifting
political positions contained in their extensive legislative records
(negotiation and compromise being hallmarks of the Senate) opens them to
charges of "flip-flopping". In this regard, the executive branch has
always been considered superior. Now we see public records laws changing
this, perhaps (regardless of current partisan considerations) actually
leveling the playing field.
To clarify another point provided to me by another kind and attentive
listserv member - "irregardless" is not a word. I apologize for
spreading my bad grammar!
