That refers to her position and actions in Alaska, whereas the prior statement refers to the US in general. No reconciliation needed.
ehhhhhhh.....yeah.
If she couldn't reduce the size of government in Alaska, how can she say she will reduce it in all of America?
Kind of reminds me of how Ubama campaigned on how he was going to solve all of America's problems when he couldn't even solve Chicago's problems.
I haven't done a search yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Alaska has a smaller population than Chicago.
Don't get me wrong. I'm a Palin admirer. But not a worshipper. She better sort these things out ahead of time or don't say them at all.
