Via Ed Morrissey:

Sarah Palin did nothing wrong in firing Walt Monegan, the Alaskan State Personnel Board has concluded. Their independent investigator criticized the legislature’s investigator for applying the wrong law. They also said that Todd Palin did nothing wrong in pressing for action against the governor’s former brother-in-law:

Also Breitbart:

A report has cleared Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin of ethics violations in the firing of her public safety commissioner.

Released Monday, the report says there is no probable cause to believe Palin or any other state official violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act in connection with the firing. The report was prepared by Timothy Petumenos, an independent counsel for the Alaska Personnel Board.

Well, the last phone call from home was made to my fellow Pennsylvanian’s today.

The facts have been laid as bare as they could be on both presidential candidates and those running for lower offices.

Sometime tomorrow night (hopefully) we will know who will lead this great nation for at least the next four years. The challenges we may face will be great, but as long as we hold a firm grasp on our values I believe we will be okay no matter the outcome.

One thing I choose to remember is that this nation was not made grand by any one man in the White House nor those who sit in Congressional Offices. It was built brick by brick by those who have toiled, sweat and died for it’s mere existence.

That is the simple beauty of America and American’s.

Sen. Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham, died last night in Honolulu. Mrs. Dunham was 86 years old.

We wish to extend our sympathies to Sen. Obama and his sister and families on this loss.

We are as weary of this election campaign as the rest of you. Then again, maybe you’re not one of those political freaks who constantly reads and watches anything having to do with politics. If so, you are blessed because you probably don’t have frazzled nerves.

We have given you many arguments to vote for McCain and more to vote against Obama in tomorrow’s national election.

You are intelligent adults who can decide for yourselves how to vote if given as much information as is available.

Throughout this entire campaign we have tried to be fair in what we have posted. Not fair in the sense we have said Obama would make a good president, but fair in the sense that we never reported rumors. I am so proud to have found such a great friend and blogging partner as Sue, who agrees with me we don’t stand for negativity for the sake of negativity. But if something is on the record we will publish it. God knows someone has to do that. If not the blogs, then who?

Certainly not the main stream media who have been in Obama’s back pocket for almost two years now.

Traditionally the candidates will all wind up in their home states tonight to vote tomorrow and take the day off of public appearances except for the video of them voting. At last the campaign will be over as of tonight.

Not so fast! I just heard Obama plans to be at a voting precinct in Indiana on Tuesday. Why? I dunno. I don’t care, and I won’t pay attention.

John McCain will be home in Arizona tonight, Sarah Palin will be in Wasilla to vote first thing in the morning and then on a plane to Arizona to stand beside John McCain, win or lose. Presumably Joe Biden will be in Delaware to vote and wait until the evening party, which I pray will be a pity party and not a celebration.

Just as we have said everything to persuade you to vote for McCain, the candidates have done the same for their own causes. McCain has run a lousy campaign but we’ll see what the only poll that matters thinks of it at least by Wednesday. Unless the loser decides to go to court. Then it will be another long nightmare, thank you very much, Mr. Gore.

Record numbers of voters have turned out in early voting already. That’s good for our country if all the votes are clean and spotless. Unfortunately, history has shown that is not always the case. Look at all the complaints against ACORN just this election cycle.

It’s time now for me to shut up and await the decision of the American voters. I will not be watching television today, tonight or during the daytime Tuesday. Nor will I be reading internet newspapers during that time.

The next post I plan to make is one congratulating the winner. The tone of my post will be determined by who wins the presidency. The tone will not be bitter, though. If Obama wins it will be a congratulatory post and will be very short.

If McCain wins I will probably be so awestruck that the post will be long, happy, relieved and rambling.

Either way there is plenty of time to tell our friends on the other side, “I told you so”, but that will give me no satisfaction if it means the end of our country as we know it.

God bless America at least one more time and God bless you, the American voter. Now it’s time to make up your mind for good and GO OUT AND VOTE TUESDAY!

Too many of our best young men and women have given blood for your right to vote. Consider it your highest duty to your country.

One last thought. After watching Tina Fey portray Gov. Palin for the past couple of months I have decided Gov. Palin is a much more beautiful woman than Tina Fey.
