But that holds true for all the others as well. The only difference is that the other three have been in national life so long that the oppo guys (paid people on both campaigns who dig up dirt) have had long enough to find what they are going to find.
For Palin, she has been on the list for awhile, but was considered very much a dark horse, and therefore, no oppo research was put in. The press, sadly, takes opposition research and turns it in to press releases.
That said, there is a lot of 'splainin to do with regard to a lot of things for Ms. Palin - though I would not take a lot of the claims on either side too seriously, leaning towards factcheck.org and other places like that to cut through the bs and see what the real deal is.
