It's pretty obvious to me that Governor Palin didn't have the best interests of her fellow Alaskans in mind when she was spouting that near-slanderous rhetoric on the campaign trail. Her team lost, the other guys won, and paybacks are hell.

I was taught long ago that it makes good business sense to maintain cordial relations with your competitor today, because that competitor might be your boss tomorrow. Well, Governor Palin's gonna have a new boss in a couple of months, and she's probably done a pretty good job of pissing the guy off. Any bill that comes across President Obama's desk with any Alaska-bound pork in it's gonna get vetoed.
