Palin clings to denying some stimulus money because that's what republican governors agreed to do at their post-election caucus. The logic of her claim for her veto is easily refutable. She has to do something to counter Obama to appear powerful, regardless of the negative impacts of her words & deeds on the state she is mandated to govern.

She's simply sticking to hot button issues. Everything she does is a pander to anti-abortion, pro-gun, "states rights" voters - her base for another vapid cross-country fear-mongering fashion show that will be her next high office bid.{See also, Wayne Anthony Ross, & her high heel dig in about appointing a state senator for Juneau.}
