So last night was billed as Sarah Palins big coming out party but even thou she gave a good speech She seems to have a little problem with her facts. her is some interesting info from CBS fact checking
Palin on Special Needs Children
Palin said: "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House
But the Fact is;
Palin actually slashed funding for schools for special needs children by 62%
Palin on the Bridge to Nowhere:
I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves."
The Fact is
the Earmarks for the Bridge to Nowhere were removed before Sarah Palin became governor. and in her campaign for governor when asked;
Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?
Palin replied: Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist."
I also think it is interesting when Palin says America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it."
But the fact is that the Obama plan is to develop more energy then Sen.John McCain 's plan it's just that Sen. Obama want to increase renewable energy not carbon-based energy.
An interesting side note is if Sen. McCain is so interested in our Energy Crisis why has he missed the last eight votes on renewable energy?
I have to admit that Sarah Palin is bringing back memories of Dan Quayle

The more investigation of Palin’s record, the lower her favorability ratings go.
The simple fact is that she is technically qualified (meets the Constitutional requirements for citizenship, age, etc.) but is woefully lacking in foreign affairs and has limited time in a major elected office in a state that regularly has a budget surplus.
The real problem I have with McCain’s pick is it reflects the “insider” selection that is typified by the Monica Goodlings and Michael Browns of the Bush Administration – people selected for their ideology and not their abilities.
Do the Republicans realize that McCain has now set her up as his logical successor … either moving up from VP or as a candidate in 2012? Just as in Minnesota where the MN-GOP will have No Pro-Choice Republicans in the MN-House next year, the Republican Party has taken a hard slant to the right … is there any room for Moderates ?
