On the campaign trail in Indiana today, Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama took aim at John

McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, on the subject of earmarks. From
AOL:
"I know the governor of Alaska has been saying she's change, and that's great," Obama said. "She's a skillful politician. But, you know, when you've been taking all these earmarks when it's convenient, and then suddenly you're the champion anti-earmark person, that's not change. Come on! I mean, words mean something, you can't just make stuff up."
Palin, the article continues, has set a record pace for per capita earmark dollars, exceeding some states by a factor of 10.
It will be interesting to see how Palin and McCain react to Obama's first direct salvo at the GOP's newly minted Veep candidate. Actually, it will be interesting to see Palin react to anything with the press, as she has
yet to field questions from reporters.
My guess is that Brian Rogers will issue a statement condemning Obama's highly personal attack on tax dollars that benefitted Alaskans that included Palin's family.
