Sure, there's a troopergate. But her campaining with Ted Stevens (a video she scrubbed from her website) and her support of the 'bridge to nowhere" is more important...
In 2006, she supported her congressional reps when they sought the funds for the bridge to nowhere.

On the issue of earmarks:
The Flip:
"We here in Alaska, our administration, we cancelled the bridge to nowhere, we know that, that earmark was not in Alaska's or the nation's best interest." CNBC 7/31/08
The Flop:
"People across the nation struggle with the idea of building a bridge because they’ve been under these misperceptions about the bridge and the purpose,' said Palin, who described the link as the Ketchikan area’s potential for expansion and growth.
Palin said Alaska’s congressional delegation worked hard to obtain funding for the bridge as part of a package deal and that she 'would not stand in the way of the progress toward that bridge.'"

"Part of my agenda is making sure that Southeast is heard. That your projects are important. That we go to bat for Southeast when we’re up against federal influences that aren’t in the best interest of Southeast.'
She cited the widespread negative attention focused on the Gravina Island crossing project. 'We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that’s so negative,' Palin said."

She claimed today during her big speech that she killed the Bridge to nowhere. She did. But only after flopping. She supported it at the time Ted and co were asking for the funds.
McFlipper has a worthy VP...
