She does have a following here and alot of people here already heard of her before McCain picked her as his VP, with WA being the closest state to Alaska, geographically speaking. The Democrats I mentioned earlier that were either sitting out the election or thinking about voting for McCain were scorned Hillary supporters.
I am tellin yah...The Hillary loyalists hate hate hate Obama.
They want payback. They want their party back. If Obama somehow wins (doubtful) - their party is gone forever.
