Earmarks are McCain's pet issue. His campaign to a large degree centered on that issue. Obama wanted in on the issue and made some bullshit comments and promises regarding earmarks. Most Republicans were not behind McCain on the earmarks issue. And, now the point is about Obama's empty campaign rhetoric more than it is about earmarks.
