As mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin hired a lobbyist to bring in $27 million dollars in earmarks over 4 years. For a town of 7000, that's $1000 per person per year!
As governor of Alaska, Palin requested $450 million in earmarks over 2 years. That's $500 per Alaskan per year!
The average earmarks per American is $50 per year.
Sara Palin is exactly the person that John McCain's been complaining about.
This caller is right about Sarah's job seeking benefits for her constituents. With lots of natural resources, a harsh climate and small population, good for her!
When she gets her dwelling and travel expenses covered as part of her job as governor and has cost Alaska so much less for those expenses than they've been in the past...you guys are obviously biased and are garnering more votes for McCain/Palin because when thinking people hear this they make sure they will get out and vote for her!
