TODAY: PALIN RAILS AGAINST EARMARKS - FOUR YEARS AGO: SECURED MILLIONS IN EARMARKS FOR HER TOWN

So let's get this straight. First Governor Palin claims to have been against "The Bridge to Nowhere", even though the facts don't support it. Now we find out the "anti-earmark" candidate secured some $27 million in earmarks for her 6,700 person town of Wasilla, Alaska in just four years? That's over four-thousand dollars of federal money per resident. She even hired a lobbying firm to help secure more dollars.

Again, am I somehow missing the "reform" in the reform candidate? And if she's weak on this, what exactly is she bringing to the table over more experienced Republicans?
