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!

Plus sometimes you have to flip flop. It's what you flip flop about and the sincerity of it; we went through all that on another thread and, I think, reached consensus.
You will wait in vain for confirmation (my cynical side). But I'm not immune to pleasant surprises.
That was in a thread here on FR just before the weekend. I can’t recall which one, but the link was solid IMO.
His contributions went back a couple years, but he contributed. The important thing was that there was a link between him and KOS.
Actually only the WSJ editorial staff are middle-road or right. The rest of them are lefties.
OK, thanks. I only read selected articles from it on the web. We need a list to rank the media as to who is left, center, right, undecided :-).
I thought WSJ was right too but I found out differently on FR. This place is an education.
“...How on earth did this team defeat Sen Clinton?...”
I don’t know. However they got to this point, it’s going to make The Messiah’s defeat that much sweeter. I feel that McCain/Palin are going to win this thing in a big way.
probably need that link handy for the next few days.
I do not believe this is possible. Earmark spending is requested by congress and senate...not governors.
Obama HAS requested 1 BILLION dollars in his 3 years as a senator...and he hasn't exactly been hanging out in the Senate for the last year.
“I do not believe this is possible. Earmark spending is requested by congress and senate...not governors.”
Correct
