Alaskan women: Palin isn't one of us

We've repeatedly heard how much Alaskans love their Governor, Sarah Palin, which has made me doubt the judgment of Alaskans. No more.

Reading this article on Mudflats (one of Alaska's many fine progressive blogs) today deeply reassured me that our northern neighbors do indeed have their heads screwed on straight. As a counter-response to Palin's welcome home rally in Anchorage this week, a few women (you might call them community organizers) staged their own Alaska Women Reject Palin rally.

The numbers speak for themselves: Welcome Palin, five hundred to nine hundred people, versus Women Reject Palin, fourteen to fifteen hundred angry people.

Be sure to watch the video of the rowdy crowd and read the signage.

It makes me wish I was there.
