Palin: The Earmark Reformer
This is the record of the woman John McCain wanted to be vice-president of the United States:

According to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington-based watchdog group, Alaska will receive more money, per capita, from the bill's earmarks than any other state. (Alaska will pocket $209.71 for each state resident.) One hundred earmarks in the bill, worth a total of $143.9 million, are tagged for Palin's state.

I assume she'll turn them down, right?

Frankly, there is enough pork for everybody. Gov. Palin is stuck in the same trap as the other governors. They need help and this is the way it is being delivered, good or bad.
