I was impressed. The fact that he picked her actually opened up my wallet...I'm not wild about McCain at all, but I'm a lot happier than I was before he picked Palin.Mrs. Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283080212189118357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14648942.post-55550702140523813282008-09-01T09:13:00.000-07:002008-09-01T09:13:00.000-07:00Palin is a great choice.

Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?<BR/><BR/> Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.<BR/><BR/>And this is her when the whole thing fell apart...<BR/><BR/>"Despite the work of our congressional delegation, we are about $329 million short of full funding for the bridge project, and it's clear that Congress has little interest in spending any more money on a bridge between Ketchikan and Gravina Island," Governor Palin added. "Much of the public's attitude toward Alaska bridges is based on inaccurate portrayals of the projects here. But we need to focus on what we can do, rather than fight over what has happened."<BR/><BR/>That is not exactly someone telling Congress to keep its money. It is someone who wanted more, and couldnt get it..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14648942.post-76483425083888379102008-08-31T22:58:00.000-07:002008-08-31T22:58:00.000-07:00Chanman,I agree.
