I don’t understand….

But yeah, she’s an idiot.

@Johnny, this blog was started by an Alaskan before Palin’s nomination, in response to the Alaska legislature attempting to do away with Mother’s Day. It’s very insightful: www.mudflats.wordpresscom.

@Prufrock, is that link ok? I’m getting an error.

It’s missing the “dot” between wordpress and com.

Sorry about that, www.mudflats.wordpress.com. I can’t type tonight for some reason.

Another interesting read is the Mat-su Valley Frontiersman, which is the Wasilla local paper. It gives you a baseline perspective of where Palin’s coming from. Interesting reading.

Ha, I was just coming here to talk about Mudflats—I found it yesterday or the day before. Glad to see AP was here!

Johnny, here’s a real interesting video clip from a debate from the 2006 Alaskan gubernatorial election.

Palin does not be representative of the overall level of Alaskan politics, but does seem representative of the “popular will of the people” superseding the constitution and due process. This clip is about upholding a court ruling requiring the state to pay health care benefits to same-sex couples who are state employees.
