While the McCain campaign continues to claim Sarah Palin opposed Alaska’s notorious Bridge to Nowhere, more evidence has emerged proving that she once supported the project. On Sunday night, C-SPAN re-aired a 2006 gubernatorial debate in Alaska, when Palin was asked whether she supported a $24 million federal earmark to build a gravel access road to the nonexistent bridge.

Sarah Palin: “I wouldn’t [cancel the project]. I’m not going to stand in the way of progress that our congressional delegation — in the position of strength that they have right now — they’re making those efforts for the state of Alaska to build up our infrastructure. I would not get in the way of progress.”
