I agree with you. The fact that the campaign mentions it in their ad today shows they're comfortable with the issue. Surely they're aware that people have been talking about it since Wednesday. They may put it as a bait... for what, I have no idea.
I put up a vanity post with several links and information on why this is a non-issue and why she’ll squash Biden if he brings this up:

I presume that the purpose is to bait Charlie Gibson into concentrating all of his ‘gotcha’ on this one line of questioning and get blown out of the water. If they chum the waters with silly stuff like this, it’ll hopefully be less of an ambush.
I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with McCain’s campaign.
“They may put it as a bait... for what, I have no idea.”
Both Obama and Biden voted for the Bridge to Nowhere.
Then they come out in an ad attacking her for her initial support of the bridge, suggesting she’s a hypocrite.
I think we know who the hypocrites are.
I know this will be somewhat partisan, but if you go to this link for the new campaign ad http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/53253e8c-8a7e-42c4-9918-3b00f9e1daa7.htm , and go to about the middle, there are press summaries on this very issue.
I believe that they are cognizant of the issue and are waiting for the right time to pounce on the Obama/Biden campaign. Perhaps during the interview with ABC, but during the debate for sure.
