Not two months ago, in a news conference with Sen. Ted Stevens, Gov. Sarah Palin seems to say that the reason she opposed -- OK, the Bridge to Nowhere (after Congress killed the specific earmark and sent Alaska the money anyway) was because the politics were no longer tenable. "Seeing the writing on the wall." Oh -- and she says that "both candidates" will reform the earmark process, which stands in contrast to the McCain-Palin message of the day.
Republicans, meanwhile, are happy that Alaska Democrats seemed to give credit to Palin for killing the bridge after the earmark had expired.
