If I’m a Bridge to Nowhere opponent, the Obama team says I should vote against the guy who railed against it from day one (McCain) and a running mate who initially supported it but ultimately pulled the plug on the project (Palin) and instead support two men who never voted against it, and who voted against a Coburn amendment to divert the money to Hurricane Katrina victims (Obama and Biden).

The tickets are Good-Mixed vs. Bad-Bad in the eyes of pork haters. Why Obama thinks this is a winning argument is not clear.
