Palin’s Pipeline Is Years From Being a Reality – NYTimes.com:
“The pipeline exists only on paper. The first section has yet to be laid, federal approvals are years away and the pipeline will not be completed for at least a decade. In fact, although it is the centerpiece of Ms. Palin’s relatively brief record as governor, the pipeline might never be built, and under a worst-case scenario, the state could lose up to $500 million it committed to defray regulatory and other costs.
Contributing to the project’s uncertainty is Ms. Palin’s antagonistic relationship with the major oil companies that control Alaska’s untapped gas reserves.”

Palin trying to get it coming and going I guess. Pun intended.
I have a question for the GOP: Instead of making bogus claims about Palin as a reformer on earmarks, why not play this up? It fits the image. Methinks, Big Oil has something to do with that.
