Palin: The Earmark Reformer

By The Daily Dish

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?
