McCain Camp Response to Obama's Terre Haute, Indiana Event

Please see our campaign's response from campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds to Senator Barack Obama's event in Terre Haute, Indiana. During the event, Barack Obama attacked Governor Palin and John McCain for earmark reform:

"Barack Obama has requested the equivalent of one million dollars in new pork barrel spending for every working day he's been in the U.S Senate, while John McCain has never once asked for an earmark, and Governor Palin has vetoed hundreds of millions in government spending including killing the infamous 'bridge to nowhere'. Just like so many other issues Barack Obama is all talk, has no record to back it up and isn't ready to make change." --- Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008
