Republican governors have broken with the Republicans in the Senate and are demanding their pork. Palin iswanting Alaskas fair share of the pie.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, planned to meet in Washington this weekend with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other senators to press for her state's share of the package.

Talk about taxation without representation. I only vote in NC. I can't vote on policy in another state so why should i be forced to bail out another's state bad policy. I wish no state would get bailed out. But as dixie said, you have to get what you can get.

I believe every Governor of every state regardless of party want the money and much of it is pledged to the states. Talk to those who elected this dud.

If they are going to throw it away then Ruger, Bark River and I will be waiting.

Falcon,

C'mon man, you've got to be kidding me. You are CLEARLY holding Republican Governors to a higher standard than you are Democrat Governors.

Do you really think it's reasonable that since the Democratic Party's put together such a huge pig roast, that the Republican-governed states should have to sit it out, while their citizens pay their share in the form of taxes, etc.? If one gets it - they ALL should get it. After all, ALL of our kids are going to be paying for it for most of the rest of their lives.
