Talking Point To Nowhere

"We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge, and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative."

Sarah Palin August 2006, on supporting the Bridge to Nowhere.

Astute political observers know that Sarah Palin was for Ted Stevens Bridge to Nowhere. Palin even held a joint press conference with Stevens. Palin made it clear that she would support Stevens during the criminal investigation. The Caucus reports Palin has finally dropped her bogus talking point that she was against the Bridge to Nowhere.

When she landed in Fairbanks in her home state on Wednesday night, though, the bridge was notably absent from an (otherwise mostly similar) speech she made inside an airplane hangar before her homestate crowd.

The campaign is playing off Palin's omission as a time saving measure. Perhaps the Palin people can explain the omission of the video of Ted Stevens endorsing Palin. The Palin people took the video off the Governor campaign web site.
