Would this story below not be argued as the basis of his candidacy for change?

Compelling Story #1: EXCERPT: Governor Murkowski appointed Palin to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she chaired the Commission from 2003 to 2004, and also served as Ethics Supervisor.[35] Palin resigned in January 2004 in protest over what she called the "lack of ethics" of fellow Republican members.[7][36][37]
After resigning, Palin filed formal complaints against the state Republican Party's chairman, Randy Ruedrich,[38] and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes.[39] She accused Ruedrich, one of her fellow commissioners, of doing work for the party on public time and working closely with a company he was supposed to be regulating. Ruedrich and Renkes both resigned and Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine.[7][35]
In 2006, running on a clean-government platform, Palin defeated then-Governor Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary.[7]

Shortly after taking office, Palin rescinded 35 appointments made by Murkowski in the last hours of his administration, including that of his former chief of staff James "Jim" Clark to the Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority.[54][55] Clark later pleaded guilty to conspiring with a defunct oil-field-services company to channel money into Frank Murkowski's re-election campaign.[56]
