Fighting a Different Alaska Republican, Alaska Dems Credit Palin with Killing Bridge to Nowhere
September 08, 2008 4:38 PM
Conservative bloggers point out that in their campaign against Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, Alaska Democrats gave credit to Gov. Palin for helping to kill the Bridge to Nowhere.
“Gov. Sarah Palin said the $398 million bridge was $329 million short of full funding, and only $36 million in federal funds were set aside for it," the Democrats say. "She said it was clear Congress had little interest in spending any more money for it and that the state had higher priorities."
On another page the Dems say, “Gov. Palin recently cancelled the Gravina Island Bridge near Ketchikan that would have connected the Alaska mainland with Gravina Island (population: 50)."
When good oppo goes bad!

Open mouth/insert foot, BO.
Thank you Jake Tapper.
It’s like we’re watching the Keystone Kops (Dem style) here.
Jake tapper has been the most even handed MSM voice out there this entire political season.
send to Drudge.
I hear that there is a copy of this floating around the internet
How about a reminder that odumbo/biden voted for it. One of the few x odumbo doesnt vote present
But the lib comments are saying over and over that she kept the money. Did she and, if so, was it all right to do so?
We need to send this to Matt.
I notice that too. I guess his mom & pop raised him proper.
Yes the state kept the money. But! The full amount was never allocate by the federal government and the money the state kept was put into useful purposes for the people of the state instead of a wasteful bridge.

Link to earlier post with cached page from Alaska Dem Party Website. Good luck in your future career as a race pimp Hussein.
The page has been taken down but is still in Google cache. I copied the page to my hard drive, and also sent an email to johnmccain2008.com with a link to the cached page. I also suggested it as ammunition against Obama, and clued them in on Obama being a member of the Daily KOS, who has posted there in the past. I told them what he says publicly is a front for his behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
McCain, Palin criticize Obama on earmarks
By SARA KUGLER
LEE’S SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) — John McCain and Sarah Palin criticized Democrat Barack Obama over the amount of money he has requested for his home state of Illinois, even though Alaska under Palin’s leadership has asked Washington for 10 times more money per citizen for pet projects.
At a rally in swing state Missouri, the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate accused Obama of requesting nearly $1 billion in earmarks for his state during his time as a senator. The new line of attack came after Obama made his first direct criticism of Palin over the weekend, using the topic of earmarks, which are special projects that lawmakers try to get for their districts and constituents.
“Just the other day our opponent brought up earmarks — and frankly I was surprised that he would even raise the subject at all,” Palin said. “I thought he wouldn’t want to go there.”

Sen Obama has to have the dumbest research staff and advisers to bring this up.
How on earth did this team defeat Sen Clinton?
Obama HIMSELF is a KosKid???? I know he has flunkies there, but HE'S ONE HIMSELF? Can you provide evidence to that effect?
“How on earth did this team defeat Sen Clinton?”
Same way a democrat beats anyone...they stole it...
