The now-famous “Bridge to Nowhere” which GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin axed was supported by her political rivals, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, according to The Chicago Daily Observer.
Gov. Palin originally supported the earmark spending on the Ketchikan bridge, she eventually killed the project, choosing to spend Federal money on other infrastructure programs.
Obama and Biden voted to fund the Bridge, even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
Sen. McCain did not vote on the Coburn Amendment, though he is on record as opposing the Ketchikan bridge earmark.
