When did McCain drop out and Palin become the candidate?

From what I can get from the story about $270,000 a year over the old Gov. with his privet jet.

“The question is, what are the rules on this in Alaska? “

And there it is!

I thought I was getting too sleepy to figure out where the big “gotcha” moment was in the latest anti-Palin article (after awhile they all make me dizzy)

But your post had the point that was missing from the article.

Did she break any rules?
What is spelled out in her contract?

Time for Steve Schmidt to earn his money again. Need to get the Rapid Response Team to go after the WaPo for the baseless smear and defend Sarah's honor.

Palin should be praised for all the money she saved the taxpayers in Alaska, but this is being spun into a hit piece.

Seems like legit expenses, made up to sound as if they aren’t.

The governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town missions.

that reminds me of all those official overseas trips the clinton family went on especially around spring break.

It should be fun to see the expressions on some faces when they learn a little about Alaska. Like the fact that Juneau is 500 miles from a major highway. Or that the Alaska Marine Highway is built on ferry vessels, not roads.

These attacks just show their ignorance.

I am sure the Washington Post has not problem with any of Obama’s taxpayer-funded expenses since, after all, it takes a lot of money to run a 19-MONTH CAMPAIGN!

Gov. Palin has spent far less on her personal travel than her predecessor: $93,000 on airfare in 2007, compared with $463,000 spent the year before by her predecessor, Frank Murkowski.

OK, so this difference dwarfs the stuff they are complaining about in the head line?

"Journalism" is such an interesting "profession".

The MSM has spent more in ‘journalists’ traveling to Alaska in the past ten days than the entire Palin family has spent on travel since she’s been in office.

The Washington Compost, Anti-Constitution Journal, New York Slimes and other nasty rags are spitting venom big time these days.

America's media people and "journalists" continue to hit a new low each day, and they just keep getting nastier.

The media people are evil and hatred personified.

Damn straight!

And has Obama reimbursed the US for time away from the job? How many ‘personal days’ does a Senator get anyway?

I think I read in the last few days that the only way in and out of Junea is by plane. No roads. That would explain the flight travel.

Yea, Chief of State visits I guess. The President and VP’s families act as our own royalty in the US.

These people will never tire of digging up negative stories about Palin, will they? The “news media” stinks!

And selling the State Jet saved Alaska how much money?

I had no idea Sarah Palin was so interesting that the entire
Democrat Ticket has ceased to exist.

No news there. No scandals there. No family ties to illegal Hedge Fund activities there. No history of wrong decisions that would have crippled our country if they were implemented there.

And now I'm watching Alan Colmes on the rerun of H&C trying to undermine Governor Palin one more time with innuendo that would never be applied to Obami.

I'M GETTING REALLY PISSED OFF. Now I have to send the McCain Campaign even more money so I can calm down.
