Quote from trendlover:
"Under the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act, the governor and any head of a state agency are prohibited from having outside employment. But the book deal would fall under another provision of the act outlining outside services for a financial benefit.
Judy Bockmon, an assistant attorney general, said it appears the book deal would be permissible under the act as long it is not incompatible with Palin's official responsibilities and she doesn't use state resources, like her staff or her office, for personal gain."

To me it is obvious when she has Robert Barnett to help her write her book that this is her goal. Money. How can she be governor, and mother, and have time to write that book for release in 2010 spring? She has opportunity created from the media making her known, and she takes that opportunity. Ok. But when she say she did this for the Alaska people, or to defend her family, or because in prayer that was what made her decision, to me that is to hide her motivation of money, and make people think she did it for the good of the people. To me it is not bad to take the opportunity Sarah Palin has to make money, but she think people are stupid when she try to make them believe it is not money motivation, but the good of the people. I think people become more upset with her because she hide her motivation of money with christianity and family.
With everyone watching her now, and Sarah Palin know this, my opinion is Sarah Palin is afraid to work on the book and be governor too, and have more charge against her for conflict. So what has more money, governor or book? She choose the money. Not bad to do that, but to hide behind religion, family and good for Alaska people is what maybe make people upset.
