Yes, it's clear. She was directly asked if she supported the bridge and she said yes. Here's a bit of an article from The Daily News Miner newspaper:
Quote:
On Oct. 22, 2006, the Anchorage Daily News asked Palin and the other candidates, “Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?”
Her response: “Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now — while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.”
Palin’s support of the earmark for the bridge was applauded by the late Lew Williams Jr., the retired Ketchikan Daily News publisher who wrote columns on the topic.
Williams wrote on Oct. 29, 2006, that Palin was the only gubernatorial candidate that year who consistently supported the Gravina Island Bridge, the Knik Arm Bridge and improvements to the Parks Highway.

There's also a radio and video clip of her clearly stating she supported the bridge.

Again, Hilary Clinton was "man" enough to go on The Factor.

Why would she be fearful of going on O'Rielly's show? He's (as well as the rest of the Fox network) bound to love her. It would give her an hour to repeat her talking points and have a host repeatedly agree with her.
