Power Line: So, Where's the Bridge?


http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/09/021462.php

I don't know how it could be any clearer: as the McCain ad says, Palin killed the bridge. Indeed, the Alaska Democratsthemselves say, on a web site attacking Senator Ted Stevens:

Gov. Palin recently cancelled the Gravina Island Bridge near Ketchikan that would have connected the Alaska mainland with Gravina Island (population: 50).

It is frankly ridiculous to deny that Palin killed the bridge, as the ad says. If the Democrats want to attack some other aspect of her record, fine. If they want to say that she (like all state officials) was generally happy to accept federal money when it was offered, fine. But to say that the simple statement that she killed the bridge is a "lie" is false and disingenuous.
