Palin Steps Forward to Fill In Blanks as National Candidate

Now I know for sure that she is a weak candidate that will make a lousy VP.

``America will have a strong and principled vice president,'' Bush said in a speech delivered via satellite from the White House.

Then, there are the increasing examples of her questionable actions. Looks like her and McCain will win for sure because no one pays attention to this. All they seem to care about is her gender.

Palin's reputation as an agent of change rests on her record as governor. She says she broke with the ``old-boy network'' by facing down oil and gas companies over energy development and tax rates and canceling a project to build a bridge to an island with 50 full-time residents. That project, dubbed the ``bridge to nowhere,'' was to be funded by a $223 million federal budget earmark that became a symbol of congressional spending excess.
In fact, Palin supported the bridge while running for governor, telling the Anchorage Daily News on Oct. 22, 2006, that she would continue state funding for it.
Veco Money
She also accepted $5,000 in campaign contributions in 2001 from executives of Veco Corp., an Anchorage-based oil-services company, when she was running for lieutenant governor. Veco is at the heart of a federal investigation of alleged political corruption; two executives pleaded guilty last year to bribing state politicians.
