Despite the b.s. from McCain and Palin that the latter doesn't take

Harry you are going to find out Palin cut the earmarks 40% during the
time she was gov. It is stiill a lot of money but 40% less that
Murkowski was getting.

Wasilla was hardly getting anything until Palin became mayor and hired
lobbyists specifically to go get Federal earmarks. Earmarks are
something you have to aggressively chase after. If you don't ask for
them, you don't magically get ANY at all.

Palin = The Earmarks Queen

She's not a hockey mom, so much as a welfare mom.
