The Dealergate Mess

You may have noticed that the blogging here has been somewhat thin lately, at least in comparison to normal Texas for Sarah Palin posting activity. I've been involved in reporting the emerging story of what could turn out to be a major problem for the Obama administration.

It's called Dealergate, and it's all about how some Chrysler dealerships were targeted for closure and others were allowed to remain open. The criteria Chrysler has said would determine life or death for its dealers appear not to be the only factors at play. Many of the closings may have been politically motivated. The story doesn't involve Gov. Palin directly, but she has been brought into it, as we reported here on a GM dealership closing.

If you're not up on this story, you should be. It is told in four posts on one of my other blogs, Mainstream Texas Conservative. Start here and read your way forward.

You can't make this stuff up.
