John McCain has been very vocal on reducing taxes for big oil. I wonder how this plays into it:

“She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”

Green, who has feuded with Palin, brought up the big oil tax increase Palin pushed through last year. She also pointed to the award of a $500 million state subsidy to a Canadian firm to pursue a natural gas pipeline that’s far from guaranteed.

Obama talks about raising taxes on big oil and gets blasted by Republicans. Palin did raise taxes on big oil and the Republicans call her a reformer. So does McCain really know the person he has chosen? It doesn’t sound like it.
