Alaska Dems Credit Palin with Killing Bridge to Nowhere

Yes, and you need to get over here. The WSJ who are supposed to be on our side now write less objectively than CNN on this despite the confusion. They are back to she "kept the money" and maybe McCain ought to be careful on this issue.

hope I got the right link to a WSJ post, guess I did

[Aliska]

While I can't answer your question, I strongly suppose you are right. I think there are more important things to campaign on than this one bridge and wish McCain/Palin just drop it other than to explain it clearly in a debate/interview, etc.

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.

[Aliska]

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 :-).

[DJ MacWoW]

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.

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.

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
