FAIRBANKS, ALASKA -- Gov. Sarah Palin returned triumphant to her home state Wednesday for the first time since she was named to the Republican ticket with John McCain, and received thunderous cheers as she promised 3,000 supporters: "I will do my best to do Alaska proud."

Palin reprised many passages from her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech at the party's convention in St. Paul, Minn. But she steered away from explicit attacks on the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, instead gushing about her home state and its sudden role in the limelight.

"It's going to be awesome to spend a couple of days back here, getting in touch with all my friends," Palin said to raucous cheers inside a vault-like aviation hangar near Fairbanks International Airport.

Triumphal homecoming for Sarah in a picture for the ages:

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[Question Liberal Authority]

3,000 people is about 1/200 of the population of the state. I'm guessing there would have been even more than that if the building was larger.

And in a passage aimed at her welcoming crowd and the hundreds of Christian conservatives who had turned out for her arrival, Palin praised "this great land of Alaska that God has so richly blessed."

I swear these people write like anthropologists who've never seen an actual Christian in their entire lives.

Alaska? That's Flyover Country for the MSM. Would they have covered the arrival if Sarah was a man? I doubt it. Alaska is a place out in the boondocks.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[Prophet in the wilderness]

After seeing that picture... now we know that the MSM is full of it when they tell us that there is a segment in Alaska that does not like Palin.

There are liberals in Alaska... just not very many of them.

[Silly]

It’s LESS than flyover — they never fly over it!

There are liberals in Alaska... just not very many of them.

And here they are! All 14 or so of them!:

Incidentally, The third rate hacks overseeing the Pain “investigation,” are Sen. Hollis French, is the bald guy by the Obama posters, and the tall bearded guy on the far left is Senator Elton.

[There's millions of'em]

"There are liberals in Alaska... just not very many of them.

Yea, but we will hear from every single one of them during the campaign.

Soon the media will be hosting townhall meetings in Alaska with nothing but the Palin haters "representing" the poor citizens of the state who have suffered under Govenor Sarah.
