Answer 1

It appears she did.

Answer 2

YES

There are many  question that need to be answer about the Mayor from Alaska Palin .We know Gov. Sarah Palin has some baggage that makes her a pretty risky choice for McCain: she's embroiled in an abuse of power investigation, was for the infamous "bridge to nowhere" before she lied about being against it, is pretty cozy with corrupt Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens, doesn't exactly know what the vice president's job actually is, etc., etc.Palin is not ready to be president .

OBAMA BIDEN 2008

Answer 3

Whrere's the change.  Same old insider.

The L.A. Times just popped a big story the Obama-Biden folks don't want to be reading the night the Delaware senator introduces himself to the nation: a potential conflict of interest involving Biden and one of the nation's biggest asbestos litigation law firms — which also happens to be his top contributor.

The report seems to provide fuel to Obama supporters enraged Illinois senator picked a running mate with such deep ties to the D.C. cash-politics-lobbying world.

Answer 10

I don't believe she will.

But so far, all we have heard from is bloggers and detractors telling us all this.

She'll be on the interview circuit, why don't we wait to hear what SHE has to say about it?

Answer 11

Yes she sure did.

Gov. Palin, John McCain’s running mate, said in her speech on Friday that she said ‘Thanks. But no thanks.’ to the “Bridge To Nowhere”.

That’s right. But she supported the Bridge To Nowhere and NOW she’s against it.

Governor Sarah Palin also supported the bridge. (…) [T]he project and its excessive spending was initially supported by Alaska governor Sarah Palin. (…) The project was canceled on September 21, 2007 by Alaska governor Sarah Palin because the federal government would not pay for all of it.

EDIT: McCain said on Fox News that Gov. Palin’s refusing on the “Bridge to Nowhere” from the beginning on was one big reason for him to offer her this pick!!

And she also didn’t say to the Congress: “We will build it ourselves”. Gov. Sarah Palin said:”You actually want us to pay for some of this ourselves?”

And here’s what she said to the good people of Alaska:

“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”

Answer 12

This is starting to sound like Spiro T. Agnew all over again.

Answer 13

Technically, no. She did misrepresent the "evolution" of her position -- she was for it before she was against it.
