DISQUS

I am an Alaskan...I did not vote for Palin in the Governor election...and I do not support her for the position of VP

When she ran for Governor...she was running against Frank Murkoski who many Alaskans felt was no longer representing our interest and was as corrupt as most of the other Alaskan Republicans. Palin presented herself very well in the debates and she did not have that silly ancent. She never had any real substance...but she was going against Murkoski who had a very low approval rating in the Primary and then in the general election she was going against Tony Knowles (D) who was a two time governor and Andrew Halcro (I) who had a very long shot at the office. Palin had a lot of supporters....crazy supporters who were very protective of her...most of them knew her on a "personal" level because they grew up and lived in the same town. The media and a lot of the public were caught up in her beauty queen/PTA mom past and never really held her feet to the fire. You can see some of the debate from the election on YouTube

I have to know...how much do you know about Palin and her family? Have you talked to anyone up in Alaska? She is from a small town and a small state (well just in people!). I am afraird that the mainstream media has painted an unrealistic picture of Palin and her family that is completely contray to the Palins who Alaskans have known since she was part of the school's PTA.

You are absolutely right...I live in Palmer Alaska...the sister city to Palin's Hometown of Wasilla...and I can tell you that most of the non-crazy people I have talked to feel that Palin is not who they voted for. I for one, did not vote for, funny as it is, I didn't think she had the experience to be Governor and now I certainly don't think she has the experience to be VP. And althugh I was happy with Palin after she got elected...I would never vote for her again and I hope when she flies home on November 5th....Alaskans will keep a closer eye on her until she's out of office...and I hope she will be out of office the next go around!

I love Netflix...they even have great service in Alaska. I don't care that my movies didn't arrive on time...what kind of people get upset over something like that?
