One other thing you all might not be aware of. Governor Palin pushed through an “Energy Rebate” check for all Alaskans. On September 12th, each Alaskan will get $1,200 to help with high energy costs. This money comes out of the multi-billion dollar surplus that the State of Alaska has due to high oil prices. I think she would be a perfect pick now since energy is such an issue.
Compare that to Obama's $1,000 check from confiscated property of oil companies...classic contrast between conservatives and socialists.
