The Palin Chronicles: All the Right Moves

   SARAH being Sarah. Perhaps. The Alaska governor and '08 Republican vice presidential candidate cannot do anything without her beloved pundits in the Lower 48 speculating on her moves for 2012. Today, for example, Governor Palin is going to reject 31 percent of fe deral stimulus money. Read story here. Here's an excerpt from her prepared remarks:

"We will request federal stimulus funds for capital projects that will create new jobs and expand the economy. We won’t be bound by federal strings in exchange for dollars, nor will we dig ourselves a deeper hole in two years when these federal funds are gone. For instance, in order to accept what look like attractive energy funds, our local communities would be required to adopt uniform building codes. Government would then be required to police those codes. These types of funds are not sensible for Alaska.”
