Has anyone published a list of earmarks by McCain versus Obama during their terms as senators? I would think the RNC would have something like this?

It’s interesting that you ask that because I too am interested in seeing this comparison.

I e-mailed the McCain website asking that they create an ad that explained earmarks and how much each candidate has appropriated. McCain has $0. Obama....millions and millions he's only been in DC a few years.

That shouldn’t be hard from the McCain side.
McCain Earmarks = 0

It won’t be that easy from the Obama side as earmarks are his only record in the senate. On the other hand, it might not be hard, just look at any bill he supported.

Not really a fair comparison. Obama hasn’t been in office long enough to actually get ANY earmarks. However, he has written 3 memoirs.

He’s also helped author a bill to raise taxes by $845 billion.
