I think the lack of vetting resulted in a lot of opening narrative themes that Senator McCain may come to regret. This Bridge to Nowhere idea is central to that and this clip contains the damning evidence to prove it. McCain has argued that he picked Governor Palin because they are kindred spirits, she's a reformer, evidenced by her killing the Bridge to Nowhere. What we are learning is that even in Alaska, youtube can kill you. Now keep in mind, when Governor Palin sings the praises of "Alaska's Congressional Delegation" and the pork they bring Alaska, this group only consists of 3 people. So, when she's supporting them in various clips, she's talking about 3 people. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (daughter of Frank Murkowski), the now-indicted-for-corruption Sen. Ted Stevens, and the under-investigation-for-corruption Rep. Don Young. That's it. Pork barrel spending lovers all. And although I'll give McCain props in the sense that he's probably the 2nd most hated Arizonan (Mike Pence is the first) among the 3 of them, it's becoming more and more clear that Governor Palin was a big supporter of this Bridge and pork to Alaska in general. The DNC would be wise to begin running ads on this issue alone over the next month. Juxtapose the sales pitch to the facts. It's one of her main resume points and she's been lying about it. Blatantly and embarassingly. Dick Cheney is at least smart enough to only say these things in private. (again plagerized from John's Notes... Living in the South, you come to appreciate any other Democrat you can find!!)
