She did axe the bridge, because it was going to cost her state - of which she is the Chief Executive -- too much money. Congress offered her a pig in a poke. She turned it down eventually. Who wouldn't want a governor to do that?

Are we arguing that she was bad as a governor, a bad stewart of her State's finances because she refused to accept what turned out to be a federal pig in a poke?

Are we arguing that she was bad as a governor because she took the Fed's money and used it for something more productive? Is our argument that states should never receive any kind of assistance from the Feds? THat would be pretty astounding.

I think we're going for a quick hit here and losing sight of larger issues. This isn't going to damage her or McCain.

Keep the focus on the real things that will decide the election. Not this kind of silly stuff.
