1. That veto pen of Palin's totaled about $500 million--or, in other words, about 2% of Alaska budget. |

Chickenfeed!
Palin and McCain are speaking at a joint townhall meeting in Michigan. Online on CNN.
Palin is on drillin' now. Drill, baby, drill!

5. Anyone know what percentage of the 1% federal earmarks were Palin's for AK? |
|
I thought they said that AK got a lion's share of these earmarks that now just turn out to be 1% of the whole damned federal budget.
Are AK's earmarks from Palin's lobbying a significant percentage? Would be funny.
