Palin hammered for rejecting stimulus money


(CNN) — Alaska Democrats sharply criticized Gov. Sarah Palin Friday for rejecting nearly half of the federal stimulus money allotted to her state, suggesting the former vice presidential candidate is putting national ambitions ahead of Alaska's interest.

"It’s outrageous that Palin wants to turn down Alaskans’ fair share of federal stimulus money for education, public safety, unemployment services and health programs," said State Democratic Party Chair Patti Higgins. "It’s very clear that Palin is sacrificing the needs of Alaskans for her national political ambitions.”

Bob Poe, a Democratic candidate for governor of Alaska, called Palin's move downright "narcissistic" in a conference call with reporters, and said it's clear she is making decisions with an eye toward a future presidential campaign. Palin faces reelection 2010.

"She is clearly aligning herself with the other very conservative governors who have also rejected the money," Poe said.

Poe also suggested Palin is playing an "obvious game," given the state legislature is permitted to overrule her decision to reject the money and is likely to do so.

1. She's definitely gearing up to run in 2012. I wonder how

Alaskan's feel about this?

3. Me too.. My not so informed thought on this, is she will be toast

by 2012.. She is just one of those people who flames out early.

2. Typical GOP weasel... she's vetoing it knowing damn well the legislature will override her

just like Sanford.

It's the Grifter of Alaska in action.

Good luck with that re-election in 2010 Sarah!
