That is why she is in bed (not literally...i dont think) with that corrupt congressman up there. no proof but politically it sounds good

To answer your question, Obama's state has no earmarks for 2009 and is in favor of earmark reform. last year 112 earmarks totaling more than $330 million in taxpayer funds-but now he is against it - not sure this is much different that Palin's position



Further, Geeker, why would McCain LIE about it on national TV. Do you want to see the clip where McCain says that Palin did not receive earmarks? I saw the remark..LIE is a bit strong..I do believe he mis-spoke in saying "not as a Governor" and he should be challenged on it for sure

...but if that $25 K shows I am spending it ($5K on new deck - $20K in Vegas)
