Alas, we are seeing the result of “Californication” of Oregon and Washington, and to an extent Idaho and Nevada. Once liberal governance made living in California less appealing, (it really got in gear in the ‘80s) they started moving up to Oregon and Washington. Guess what...they brought their liberal politics with them.
This is the result.
What the nation forgets is, that the type of person Sarah Palin is, also grows strong in Washington and Oregon. We love our freedom, the outdoors, government out of our business. When you make fun of Sarah and her frontier ways, it insults us... I am excited about this election.
Our family lived in Juneau for several years, and I can tell you Seattle is considered the ‘big sister’ to Alaska, almost the first footing into Alaska. Much of the business, major health care, etc is done in Seattle, and Seattle loves Alaska and the money Alaska brings to Seattle and Washington... I only hope that it will be reflected on election day.
