It's an AP article actually but that's not important. I don't have a problem with a governor securing stuff for her state - that's what good governor's do. I just think you are naive to suggest she is some sort of crusading budgetary reformer. Here is another article talking about her extensive lobbying for earmarks when mayor of Wasilla Alaska...then again, this article is actually from the New York times, and we know that they hate America. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/01/us...armarks&st=cse

Edit: this is actually the article I was thinking of, from the WP washingtonpost.com
