McCain & Palin lie during Tri-State appearance

You probably heard that John McCain and Sarah Palin were in the Tri-State today. What you may not have heard is that they both repeated factually incorrect talking points. From the Wall Street Journal:

At a rally today, Sen. McCain again asserted that Sen. Obama has requested nearly a billion in earmarks. In fact, the Illinois senator requested $311 million last year, according to the Associated Press, and none this year. In comparison, Gov. Palin has requested $750 million in her two years as governor -- which the AP says is the largest per-capita request in the nation.

As for Palin, she's still lying about her opposition to the "Bridge to Nowhere." Unfortunately for her, the facts are not on her side.
