So let me get this straight, she decides to charge the Alaska taxpayers the bill for taking her daughter to a women's conference in NY, where the cost of the hotel is $700.00 a night!! Ive stayed in nice hotels in Manhattan for around $169.00 a night....and secondly, government funds are to be used for government excursions in which government business is taking place. If she can not be trusted to financially manage her government expense account for business only purposes how does she expect American people to trust her to assist in making crucial financial management decisions if she makes it to office??

When people are living paycheck to paycheck and figuring out how to conserve on gas prices-Palin is no where close to being able to be ANYONE'S VP!

Who cares? We're voting for her to be the VP the most irrelevant position in national politics. Better than voting for Obama to be president.

"Overall, Palin's travel spending pales in comparison with that of predecessor Frank Murkowski, who charged $463,000 for air fare in 2006. Palin charged $93,000 in 2007. Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said Tuesday that the governor is expected to travel frequently. "This is part of her job and it's only reasonable her travel expenses — which were reduced dramatically from the previous administration — would be covered," Schmitt said."

but don't you get it, she's saving them money, she's frugal. By not actually leaving the state she's totally ready to lead at a national level.
