I came to Alaska a week ago dubious of the Republican candidate John McCain and like many Americans, questioning whether small-town-girl Palin was a qualified VP candidate. While my views on McCain haven't shifted, since stepping off the plane in Alaska I have been bombarded by Palin lovers. Democrats, liberals, young and old, it's hard to find anyone here that doesn't approve of McCain's selection. I am amazed that any Republican governor can have a 80% approval rate during an election year when voters are becoming increasingly polarized. Alaskans are very willing to praise her for her efforts at fighting corruption in Alaska politics, stealing from Big Oil to give back to the state, selling the superfluous governor's jet on eBay. Next week each Alaskan will get a record breaking PFD check for $4,000, most of the money available in part by Sarah Palin’s robinhood-like stunt to steal profits back from Big Oil.
She's got my vote.

$3269. And I agree with you completely.
i'm with you dani. i was skeptical as well, but she's got spunk and actions to back it up. i like her.
I agree. Even being from AZ, I've never fancied McCain, but I can't deny that I like Palin. I think she might be what it takes to get the US back in shape.
Amen, amen, and amen! How can Michiganders get a hold of these PFD checks? ;)
Hope all is well with you guys! We want to go exploring this month, before it gets too cold. How is it looking for you? If you couldn't go explore, we'd love to come and see your family. Let us know!

hmm... not sure why the link is being silly, but cut and paste should work. i'll try and be more link-savvy in the future.
she has my vote too, just so she gets out of Alaska. just wait until she starts messing with federal workers like she has state workers. i think we're living in bizzaro world if palin is going to be VP. The world is going to end any day. its all a sign of the end.
