It does show how parochial Schmidt is. No state has as much of its terrritory controlled by the Federal government, thereby so limiting the resources of the state to a degree. The Party that Todd Palin belonged to is a protest party, a “white version” of La Raza. Recall how bent out of shape people got when Gov. Rick Perry half-seriously dropped the word “secession.” Texas also has a fedeling of separate identity not felt by
“consoldidated. “ states such as New York. Rootless guys like Schmidt(or McCain) have no concept of “states rights.” and they don’t understand how people from such “backward” places as Alaska could take such pride in their home states.
I wouldn't vote for somebody tied to La Raza, either.
