Sarah Palin

In the media these days it seems as though every day there is a new article about Sarah Palin. Seems to me that they are following her closer than they are following the presidential candidates. I guess this could be a good thing with the McCain campaign trying to get her popular by putting her on shows like Saturday Night Live. This shows that she has a little bit of a sense of humor and she is not afraid to poke fun at herself. CNN did a good job in not making fun of her for this but rather making it seem as though this was a good publicity stunt for her.
However, CNN also did broadcast a story that would seem to be detrimental to Sarah Palin. They reported that Palin had charged the state of Alaska for the travel expenses of her daughters to come with her while she was campaigning. The ton of the article seemed to be such that they believed Palin should not have done this. It says in the article that Palin has charged the state of Alaska for more than 21 thousand dollars in plane tickets for her children. This to me sounds ridiculous because she should not be taking advantage of this to pay for her kids to go everywhere with her.
