Palin emails show her coping with rise to VP slot

Juneau, Alaska - As governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin fought with the rumors about her family and marriage.
As a newly coined Republican vice presidential nominee, she was dismayed by the sudden onslaught of questions from reporters, especially one about dinosaurs existed, if they believed, and people at the same time. She has also received death threats.
At least once, she prayed for strength. Other times, they fired out messages to their supporters, most hard, when the topic was the defense of their record company or her family.
The view of Palin, more than 24,000 pages of e-mails released Friday from their first 21 months as governor. They showed a Palin closely involved in the day-to-day business of the state in an attempt, with the increasing pressure that came with her rise from small-town mayor to governor to national prominence overcome.
The emails were packed into six crates, stacked a weight of 250 pounds in all, in a small office in a building complex near the state capital in Juneau.

Within minutes after the release, Palin tweeted a link to the website for "The Undefeated," a documentary about her time as governor, and their arrival on the national political stage.
Their followers, all now encouraged to read the news. "The e-mails a governor's hard at work," said Tim Crawford, the treasurer of its Political Action Committee, Sarah PAC, prepared in a statement.
Palin is in the front row of the potential 2012 presidential candidates in polls of Republican voters. Her recent bus tour of the Northeast fueled speculation about their national ambitions. She said she has not decided whether she will run.
Many news organizations, including The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and msnbc.com began scanning and posting of messages on their websites all day. The New York Times reporter asked readers in the review of documents to join. Treat the e-mails were presented on blogs and Twitter.
"It's crazy," said Tony Lead Holm, a student counselor at the University of California, Davis, and a Republican who takes Palin too conservative for his taste. "It seems wherever you go, the release of these e-mails in your face, and it is war and actually to real people who have actually declared their intention to run for the presidency."
The emails were initiated during the 2008 White House race of citizens and news organizations including The Associated Press contends that because it validates a candidate whose political experience included less than one term as governor and one term as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
The almost three year delay in the release of the material attributed largely to the sheer quantity. Lawyers went through each page to sensitive information defaced government. Another reason was the almost 500 open records requests during Palin's tenure, and the state's decision to smaller, lighter, first business.
The e-mails for the period from the time Palin took office in December 2006, her ascent to the GOP vice presidential candidate in September 2008.
In the months before it was presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, the e-mails a governor dealing with complaints, rumors and gossip show about her family. In several, she asked about the identity of someone that they do not strapped to her son Trig, correctly asserts in his car seat.
In another, she complained of gossip about her family and marriage. Bristol Palin and her daughter appeared to be on the road, and Bristol Palin e-mail a staff member in July 2008 in a car. "Mama and I had just prayed about the pain and anger that comes with her job Thank you for your trust in God.
"We share and we love you!" Bristol, wrote of her mother's personal e-mail account.
The e-mails presented Palin as a close reader of news accounts do what they in good faith - or were, in fact - wrong. "Will be ktuu (an Anchorage TV station) and and (Anchorage Daily News) corrected: the" internal investigation, they wrote in a 13 August 2008, E-mail: "I have made no such request, since they both reporting are? " .
After they increased the national ticket, was news organizations began to record security check of Palin. She was essentially no time limit to answer questions about gubernatorial record to McCain's campaign manager, part of an ambitious strategy, GOP no embarrassing revelations and carefully shape her image for voters in the rest of the country accused.
On 13 September 2008, she wrote then-spokesman Bill McAllister, Palin to your government to account .. "Governor, I understand your message right now not quite Mike said yesterday, indicating most of the things the campaign that such practice was fairly recently."
On 15 September 2008, responded to Palin a variety of media questions submitted to it by McAllister. Among them was one of a solarium at the residence of the governor and if she's "belief that dinosaurs and humans coexisted at once?"
"I am so sad that the office is flooded with them! Dinosaurs?, I'll try some of this in my head to respond before you run," said Palin. "And the old, used tanning bed that my girls have used some time in Juneau Yes, we pay for it myself I will continue to be appalled at the media."
On 17 September 2008 launched a profanity laced Palin e-mail from a man who claims to be a Juneau resident from their government accounts to two aides.
"They must come from one of the planes that shoot th (sic) very wolves that you have ordered to be shot," said the e-mail. "I have weapons and will fight any gun owner hands down mita (sic) simply throwing knives, how about you, Palin wants to go hunting for wolves yet? Can you walk in your heels ..."
She also got another threat from someone in Belgium.
The e-mails also showed the support that national political figures, Palin was on a variety of topics.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich offered advice to a McCain-Palin campaign manager, as the impact of a September 2008 Washington Post report that she accepted $ 17,000 per day in payments on time, the blunt she spent in her house Wasilla.
Gingrich said the campaign was at its first defense is that Palin is not responsible for the state money they collected to develop could spend on their children.
"This should be placed in a single Number of children (sic) days will not charge the same $ X, that Palin does not levy taxes for which it was entitled by law," said Gingrich. "Offset 90 percent (sic) of history of the impact."
E were involved that Palin was in the operation of the State, including priorities as a natural gas pipeline from the far north of Alaska natural gas to the lower 48 ship and ceremonial duties such as funerals of soldiers, speeches holds in groups and with trade bill-signing events.
Palin wrote in March 2007, adopted two months before the legislature, the law that one of its top pipeline Helper "is a letter for VP Chaney (sic) craft editing, it supports our Agia process. (We'll see where Chaney's ( sic) Edits ultimately go but at least he made me the offer to its support of Agia voice anyway.). "
Her official calendar shows that she spoke to Cheney about the pipeline in January 2007.
Palin resigned in early July 2009, nearly a year and a half before its term had ended. Requests for e-mails from Palin's past 10 months has been made in office. State officials have not started reviewing these records. Sharon Leighow, a former assistant and now the spokeswoman for Palin Governor Sean Parnell said she doubted the e-mails will be released soon.
forced the voluminous nature of the release, the isolation of Juneau and the limited bandwidth in the city of 30,000 people has come to media and creative ways to communicate information. The AP plans to make copies on paper, scan to searchable files available to its members and customers.
Mike Oreskes, the AP's senior managing editor for national news, said the news cooperative requested e-mail when Palin got out of relative obscurity.
Oreskes said public records requests a shared resource, the news organization is using the research candidates, filed with more than 1,500 hits on the country in 2009 and another 1,000 in 2010.
"Palin is one of many officials whose public record and guiding the light to look for AP by obtaining e-mails, memos and other documents," he said. "It is a significant profile in the current political scene and is maintained to run for president. We urge to get on the records of the other presidential candidates in the coming months."
Alaska released Friday, the e-mail in paper form only in Alaska in the capital, on the Internet only by air or water. Reporters from several news organizations met in Juneau and made various plans to disseminate the material to the public.
The e-mails sent and received by personal and government email accounts were Palin's, and those who have been released as state business related.
Once the state reviewed the records there was Palin's lawyers an opportunity to see if they have any privacy concerns with what was released. No e-mails were withheld or redacted as a result of that, Linda Perez, Administrative Director said Parnell responsible for the coordination of the publication.
Before recording needs light on the Palin administration's efforts to the pipeline project and the role of Palin's husband in state enterprises have played pre-shed.
Palin and top staff were known to communicate with personal e-mail accounts. Perez said Palin gave the state a CD with e-mails from her Yahoo account, and other employees were asked to review their personal accounts for e-mails relating to state enterprises and those whose condition send accounts.
A further 2275 pages being withheld for reasons including attorney-client, work or executive privilege, an additional 140 pages were classified as "non-records", or no relation to state enterprises.
been some e-mails are previously in other public records requests, as in the Troopergate investigation, in which Palin under pressure to give public safety officials to her brother-in-law fire was accused of having verified an Alaska State Trooper, who was a bitter divorce from Palin's sister go.
