I was mistaken It is Texas with the highest absolute number of earmarks, it is Alaska with the number one per capita. My apologies.
Btw Senator McCain makes a big deal about how he does not lobby for earmarks for the State of Arizona. He can make that claim because he has the other Arizona state representatives do it for him.
