Sarah Palin is a controversial figure. Sarah Palin campaigned on the idea that she was against earmarks, or government funds that are pegged for a specific cause. The only problem is that she asked for $140 million to be set aside for her state, which makes Alaska one of the biggest users of earmarks in the U.S. This is after she gave a large cash advance building an oil pipeline. And she's also having her daughters' contentious break up to deal with. Rumors are still going around about her running in 2012, but if she fails to live up to campaign promises it won't be an easy sell for Sarah Palin for President
