While running for lieutenant governor of Alaska accepting $4500 from the VECO Company in the same fund raising scheme that led to the downfall of Ted Stephens. Company founder Bill Allen admitted that the plan violated federal tax law but said none the less ...

During her time as mayor of Wasilla Palin hired a lobbying firm in a successful bid to win $27 million in earmarks for her tiny town of 950o. McCain has worked in the Senate to end earmarks and pork projects.
