Where the Bars Are Open Till 5 A.M.

I just know this must be some kind of joke. I just don't think I find it very funny.

I bet she's qualified to fix the economy. She can see a bank from a window in the governor's office.

this women is sooooooooooooo qualified because she can see Russia from Alaska..... what a joke !

LOL !! McCain's new ad steals Obama saying"Enough" .. weak McCain cant even come up w/ his own ideas... First the "change" theme & now the "Enough" saying..

Enough ! w/ the theft........ i thought he was the reformer?

i heard on talk Radio that Palins returned to Alaska didnt have the reported number of ppl show up at the rally.. the Media ( news reported 2000 ppl really only 500 ppl showed up).. the news is extragerating her popularity..

Palin was against the bridge to Nowhere. After she was for it. She took the money, as all politicians do.

But Barely anything like that exists in Wasilla.

You certainly can have a great time swigging beer in two bars that are allowed to stay open until 5 a.m. It was Mayor Palin who rejected attempts to make them close earlier.

(If Palin had completely had her way, in fact, you could have sidled up to the bar with a gun.) At the Mug-Shot Saloon, you can memorize the expletives on the collection of bumper stickers next to the well of bottles.

But once you leave, you might want to watch your back:

Alaska a State that is consistently in the top [10 of the Nation's Most Violent Per Capita]

Alaska also Leads the [Lower 48] in Rapes...[Domestic violence, men who Kill their Wives or Lovers and Child Abuse]

This is not a [Norman Rockwell Fantastical Illusional Painting]

The Alaskan Lifestyle, if you choose to call it that ? Is Mountainous, Very, Very Rural an Very, Very, Frontiersmen, Wide open, No Rules that can't be Broken or Bent World !! Its like these People think, they are their own [Country, Apart form the USA]

Now you can see, why the [AIP: Alaskan Independence Party Exist] and why Todd Palin was a [7 Yr Member] who still registers Independent.

The AIP are the 3rd largest Political Paty in Alaska...Think about that...hmmmm

Imagine the Wild Open west of Yesterday and you have [Alaska]

Wasilla has among the [Highest Per Capita Violent- and Property-Crime Rates in Alaska]

A question I have is why Hillary is not more actively involved in the campaign, especially as a counter to Palin? She and Biden working together would do a great job exposing Palin for what she is, a former hick-town mayor and governor of a small state (tiny Hawaii has twice as many people as Alaska) with a large redneck constituency. Is Obama not letting HRC get involved? (big mistake) Or is it Hillary being lukewarm because she wants Obama to fail (unforgiveable mistake)?

The Obama Campaign Sinks to a New Low in Decency

The Obama campaign, as it continues to flounder and sink in the polls, has descended to a new low, even for itself.

Recently it has launched a new TV ad in which a mocking narrator alleges that John McCain is so out of touch with the current generation because of his inability to use a computer.

The narrator does not admit that the reason John McCain doesn???t use a computer is because 5 and a half years of torture as a POW in the Vietnam war cause him to experience severe pain by attempting to do many of the day to day menial tasks which most of the American population take for granted.

Obviously the Obama campaign does not demonstrate any appreciation and respect for the veteran and current members of the US military!

The obamabot ship is sinking, and the crew are sure grasping at straws in their pitiful attempt to deceive the voting public. Yes, Obama approved that deceitful ad - it is consistent with his decrepit morally corrupt standards.

Obviously that empty suit has no heart, courage, sincerity, honour, and respect!

Do you expect a presidential candidate to be truthful in striving to win the election?
If so, Obama just doesn???t ???measure up??? in that consideration!

Obama is an unscrupulous do-anything community agitator who has revealed his true previously hidden self!

On November 4, you, the legal American voting public, have the opportunity and ability to cast Obama back to that slag heap of Chicago manipulators who permeate the slum areas of that city.

Wow, two sentences dedicated to Colleen Cottles who gave favorable mentioned to Mrs. Palin's Mayoral abilities and five paragraphs on Leroi Heavens' unfavorable views as the historical society' president. Nice reporting. Very unbiased and unopinionated. NOT!

If that was the case, why didn't "minorities" "steal" it in 2000 or 2004? I guess they were not in power like they are now, right????

I have visited Wasilia and it is wonderful community with wonderful people. The one thing about Wasilia is that yes - in January - it can very dark days with very little sunlight. But to knock such a small wonderful American community, Amanda Cone is showing she does not understand America. Amanda - I know you don't understand Alaska and your article failed to write about the wonderful people. You're a bad blogger.

John McCain announced that he was running for president to confront the "transcendent challenge" of the 21st century, "radical Islamic extremism," contrasting it with "stability, tolerance and democracy." But the values of his handpicked running mate, Sarah Palin, more resemble those of Muslim fundamentalists than they do those of the Founding Fathers. On censorship, the teaching of creationism in schools, reproductive rights, attributing government policy to God's will and climate change, Palin agrees with Hamas and Saudi Arabia rather than supporting tolerance and democratic precepts. What is the difference between Palin and a Muslim fundamentalist? Lipstick.
