And spending/waste/porkbarrel is most certainly a platform issue.

So she took $200,000,000 and rather than spend it on a useless bridge she used it on other projects for the state? That bitch.
If the infrastructure projects where needed on their own then fine. However if the cash was used for trash then I'm with you. Do you have a cite for where the money went?
I expect the list of Governors who gave back big bucks ear-marked for their state is fairly small. If you include those that took the cash and then found a better use for it, it's still a short list, and adding in Governors who waited until it was politically correct to use the money for a better use probably still lands her in a better than average demographic.
