“Fighting a Different Alaska Republican, Alaska Dems Credit Palin with Killing Bridge to Nowhere
September 08, 2008 4:38 PM

MoreConservative 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!

Yeah, but check the dates. Before it became apparent congress would not fund it, she was for it.
