Alaska

Is your governor (governess?) any good, Slaps?

From the Corner at NRO:

Remember that Bridge to Nowhere? [David Freddoso]
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a wildly popular conservative, announced plans to abandon the bridge on Friday.
An added bonus as the Club for Growth releases its Alaska polling results:
According to poll numbers released by the Club for Growth PAC in July, Republican primary voters in Alaska are fed up with their representatives’ wasteful spending. 66% of respondents disapproved of spending taxpayer dollars on the "Bridge to Nowhere," while 71% favored cutting federal spending even at the cost of reducing Alaska’s share of federal funds.
Furthermore, it is clear that these same Alaska Republicans are rallying to reformer Sarah Palin over the ethically-challenged porker Ted Stevens. According to never-before released poll numbers, the Club for Growth PAC found that Governor Palin has a sky-high favorability rating of 89% among Republican primary voters and an unfavorability rating of only 4%! In addition, Governor Palin would clean Senator Stevens’ pork-filled clock in a head-to-head primary challenge, winning 56%-32%.
