January flashback: GOP hopefuls debate Bush doctrine; Palin angles for earmarks
It's amazing what a little visit to the archives of the Anchorage Daily News will turn up.

"Because so much has been made of the term 'Bush doctrine' and Palin’s reponse to it, Punditty decided to comb through the archives to see if other GOP candidates for national elective office had any ideas about this unimportant topic during the 2007-08 presidential debate season.

In a nationally televised Jan. 4 debate in Manchester, N.H., the topic sparked several minutes of heated debate. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Texas Rep. Ron Paul traded views on the wisdom of the Bush doctrine, with Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson and McCain all weighing in.

And what was Sarah Palin doing in early January of 2008, when the GOP presidential hopefuls were giving American voters a chance to see them all in one place, to judge them side by side in the media lights of the night if not the pure light of day?

She was making TransCanada her choice for a state-licensed natural gas pipeline project that will likely end up being subsidized by – you guessed it – hundreds of millions of dollars in federal earmarks."
