Please tell us more about your trip up to AK and how they feel about Gov. Palin. We down here in the lower 48 do not get much on the ground info about Gov. Palin.
To a person local business owners , and are very supportive of her. The 80% approval rating among the general population is also real as we had a chance to ask directions from locals, and engage in general conversation.
They appreciate how she negotiated a deal with the oil companies to provide them with a payment for each family member ( as I recall about $4000 each)
They also see her as walking the talk , especially on representing them, and having true family values.
These are people, especially the full time residents, who know what tough is regarding weather, economy, surviving, and they see that in Sarah.
They particularly like her straightforward style. They are no nonsense people who tell it like it is.
P.S. They have a standing invite to the Washington crowd to survive an Alaskan winter to shake some common sense into their heads............
P.S.S. Of course Michelle would have to cover her arms
