    ‘Alaska Women Reject Palin’ Rally is HUGE!

    Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didn’t honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesn’t happen here.


    Lots of good pics

    I am encouraged about how people in our country are coming around now that the truth about Palin is coming out.

    Obama back to pre- bounce numbers.

    Well, this is 1,000 people; keep in mind her approval rating in Alaska is sky high. I'm more sure she'll carry Alaska than just about any other state (other than, say, Idaho).

    Palin's approval rating appears to closely correlate to AIG stock:

    Approve Disapprove No Opinion
    9/11: 52 35 13 +17
    9/12: 51 37 12 +14
    9/13: 49 40 11 +9
    9/14: 47 42 11 +5
    9/15: 47 43 10 +4
    9/16: 45 44 11 +1
    9/17: 44 45 11 -1
    9/18: 42 46 11 -4

    Her stock speech and grating delivery has the shelf life of a Bud Light commercial

    Bush in lipstick? :confused: Oh, wait, we can't talk about lipstick. :(

    Also, did Bush wear a skirt when he was a cheerleader?
