I have to admit that I do not know a lot about Alaska. But, if Sarah Palin is in any way representative of Alaskans, I have come to understand that:
there is a core to these people that speaks of determination,
there is an understanding of America that speaks of patriotism,
there is an earthiness to these people that speaks of genuineness
there is a spirit to these folks that gives me hope for our country.
Thank you, MarDav. I have the same reaction.
