This last point really is a problem. Personally it infuriates me because I hate bold faced provable lies and the Dems will surely use her comments to nail her as a fraud and insincere. Once you get caught red handed in a lie on a main point of 'why me's, you're in trouble and rightly so. When I was initially impressed by her first speech when chosen in Ohio, I was infuriated to learn she was hoodwinking me. I already don't find her credible given that and what I've learnt generally on her real record on earmarks, which is as stinky as Stevens until it became national news. Worse, it dovetails beautifully into the GOP are greedy and wasteful spending pigs backlash. I'm stunned they think they'll pull that lie off, especially citing that bridge once again.
