Some stellar work on this front. Updated entries in bold:
- Ledbetter Fair Pay Act (McCain against, Palin unknown)
- Employee Free Choice Act (McCain against, Palin unknown)
- Barack Obama's energy plan (McCain against, Palin partially for)
- The Bridge to Nowhere (McCain against, Palin for it until she was against it)
- Global Warming (McCain believes its man-made, but doesn't seem interested in doing anything about it, Palin won't say it's man-made).
- Stem cell research (Palin against, McCain for)
- Drilling in ANWR (Palin for, McCain against, though maybe he is for it after being against it)
- School Vouchers (Palin against, McCain for)
Re the bridge to nowehere, it's not just "for it before she was against it."
I believe it's more accurately "for it until it wasn't going to be built anyway due to it losing funding."
Which is even more transparently cynical.

There's also abortions for rape victims.

I believe it's more accurately "for it until it wasn't going to be built anyway due to it losing funding."
I think it's actually "against it until someone told her federal money would pay for it, then for it until she was assured the money would be sent to Alaska anyway for her to spend however she wants, at which point she was finally against it."
With Republicans, they're always more cynical than you think they are.

Yeah, except McCain was for that until he stopped caring about rewriting the platform.

Palin is decidedly in favor of aerial wolf hunting, a practice voted down twice by Alaskans. Palin also apparently offered cash bounty payments to aerial wolf hunters in violation of state law.

Also, Palin supports allowing hunting of "habituated bears"--those bears who, via ecotourism efforts have been habituated to humans and are therefore easily appropachable and easy killed.
Lastly, Palin supports a proposed massive gravel mining operation in AK that would destroy some major salmon runs.
Apologies for lack of links for last two points--unable to find exact links bcz. 've gotta run, but I'm sure you can readily locate them.

Here's another one; McCain thinks 527 organizations should be abolished, while Palin served as a director of a Ted Stevens 527 until 2005.
