ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Sarah Palin is unlikely to speak with an independent counsel hired by Alaska lawmakers to review the firing of her public safety commissioner, a spokesman for Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday.Spokesman Ed O’Callaghan said he has not spoken with Palin, but she was “unlikely to cooperate” with the inquiry “as long as it remains tainted.” Democrats charged that the McCain campaign was trying to stall the investigation. “The partisan presidential campaign of McCain/Palin has interfered and is picking partisan targets to smear in order to make this investigation look like something it isn’t,” said Patti Higgins, chairwoman of the Alaska Democratic Party.
