I will add my front row two cents here and thats because I actually live in Wasilla, Alaska or if you want to split hairs 11 miles north of it. But for reference sake I say I live there because thats where all my mail goes to, there is no home delivery where I live, its in Wasilla proper.
In Alaska its been said for many years, there is Anchorage and then there is Alaska or Alaska starts outside the Anchorage city limits.
Well thats very true because I have briefly lived in Anchorage and its a real city, it has bus routes, mail, cable TV and city water and sewage. I however must use a well and a septic tank, I bet that concept gets a lot of undies in a bunch.
Sarah Palin is well known on an up front personal level, many knew her back when she was in high school, I have met her personally and drank beer with them, they are as close to many here as if they lived next door.
Living next door in Alaska very well means your neighbor may be over 50 miles away. But you never the less know them better than you would say the apartment complex in the city.
Sarah is the neighbor like that, the one that drives by and loans you a tractor, an air compressor or helps you haul wood, can most city people make claim like that? I would argue to say its not likely because people that live closer together build thicker walls to defend their borders of privacy, rural people have no real fear of that with the few holdout exceptions of the really weird ones we sometimes have.
I am glad I live away from the city, I have my own water, I have a generator, I fear no riots burning my house of threatening me.
The most important factor in this election is the fact of we the people are voting for a leader to represent us, its that obvious fact that makes Sarah Palin the the choice, at least for me.
All you city dwellers can adopt the muslim-messiah to be your cult leader and after he is elected you can give your lifes earnings to him because he will surely take it and all the while you will have that warm feeling up your crack because thats where you are getting it in return.
Thank you for the insight into Sarah and what life is like there.
