Alaska Squeaker

No, No, No, No, No, NO!
.
Sorry, channeling my inner Ted here.

Okay throughout the Sara Palin debacle I've consistently refrained from making any Alaska generalization jokes because I was an original fan of Northern Exposure -- But now after this vote count thing I'm thinking that as soon as we tackle the alternative energy thing we ought to trade Alaska for Puerto Rico that way we won't have to redo the flag or the DNC's 50 state strategy.

Todd's old party seems to be the spoiler. The AIP candidate is pulling 7% of the votes totaled today. They are to this race as Ralph Nader was to Florida 2000.

Does this mean that God just closed a door?

I lived in Alaska for 3 years Dee. I didn't follow Wasilla city council politics at the time so I missed out. I think she was a second string sports personality on the tv station at the time. I didn't remember her to be honest.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
.
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

I don't get it, how do you support secession and then run for an office which will require you to take an oath to protect and defend an idea that you personally loath -- and who votes for you. I'm starting to think that Alaska is a little too quirky to let out alone.

Give it back to Russia.

Dee,

Because the other guy is pals with terrorist. Also you should really just get in there and try to keep up. Just sayin.

Srah and John. A love story gone wrong. NC-17.

VAN SUSTEREN: I take it you get off the plane, and did you go right to his home or his apartment or...

GOV. SARAH PALIN, R-ALASKA, FMR VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Went — no, went to — it was the next morning that we went to his ranch and spoke with him there and spoke with Cindy there and had just a great conversation about how much alike we were, I think, regarding, you know, having to take on our own party, having to make a lot of — take a lot of political risks — both of our careers were full of that — and knowing that that's what America needed at the time, though, was, we believed, a team of mavericks, literally a team of mavericks, those who had a track record of taking on the good old boy network, taking on those in the party, taking shots all the time from the other party, also — both of us have gone through this — and understanding also that what as governor I've been able to accomplish and how that can help the nation, so — so much in common and great conversations, and then, you know, by...
.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did he pop the question? Almost sounds like getting — you know, like — I mean, how do you ask someone? I mean, what does he say? Does he turn to you and say, you know, Governor Palin — I mean, what — how does he do this? How does he ask you?
.
PALIN: He just looking right in my eyes and saying, Are you ready for this? Would you like to do this? And I said, I would be honored to run with you. Absolutely. And I thanked him for taking the chance on me also.

As a Texan, it's nice having another state's politics to look down on.
.
Then I remember that we reelected Big John.

Sigh.

ha ha funny gunny

If only there was a way to invest in psychiatry-r-us or something. Because these folks are batsh1t crazy and I can envision a serious rise in billable hours over the next 4 years.

Alaska: Like Venezuela, except it's farther from the equator and closer to God.

I dont know if anybody mentioned it but Evan Bayh is a major league wus. That guy should NEVER be considered for President or VP

Watch Evan Bayh and is BS on Rachel. She should have just reach through the screen and punch the wus in the face.

I was hoping the America hating Alaskan Independence Party.
Hey, remember when you all refused to investigate whether Sarah and Todd were AIP infiltrators? That was almost worse than your denial that McCain and the terrorist G. Gordon "headshots" Liddy were "pallin' around".
When the next Ruby Ridge/Oklahoma City bombing style creep pops up I hope you all examine how your denial enables these America haters.

I was a little dissappointed that Rachel didnt go after his whiny azz. Ohhhhhh he might quit the senate or ohhhhhhhhh he might switch to republican. Ohhhhhhhhhhh he needs to apologize.
.
That dude made me want to throw up. I swear this is playing right into the "Democrats are spineless" meme.
.
Like I said before, if hey don't strip that sonofabeyatch of his chairmanship I am going to root for him to stab them in the back over and over because they deserve it.
.
They have the perfect opportunity to strip his azz right now and that bullsh!t he was saying about taking the chairmanship later is not in the realm of possibliity. If they try to strip him AFTER they allow him to keep the chairmanship now you can kiss that pipe dream good by because the rethugs will scream bloody murder if they try to do something later. They will say that the Democrats are politicizing the committee and they will say the Democrats are stifling Lieberman's right to free speech and the right to make his own decisions. I really can't believe that Rachel let him get away from shoveling that obvious pile of bullsh!t at her.

Joe gotta go!

Speaking of close elections I make Franken 6-5 to take Coleman's seat.

SG, The dems have got to win the award for the worst opposition ever. The republicans should win every year by default. I have always thought that if there was only one republican in the congress he or she if they wanted could defeat the dems with one hand. That's how totally weak they are.

Since this is an election overseen by a Palin administration in Alaska, there should be no charges or accusations of tampering. Begich just followed the national trend of getting more Dems to vote early/absentee.

IF Lieberman's fate is held in the senate Democrats hands and IF Shummer, Durbin, and Reid are for taking away Lieberman's Homeland Security Chair THEN out he goes and BHO has kept his hands clean.
Members won't go against the Leader and the Whip.

That is EXACTLY why I switched my official political affliation from Democrat to independent. Sometimes I have no comeback to my republican friends who talk sh!t about Democrats and that pisses me off to no end. Its like Evan Bayh WANTS the whole of the country to laugh at the Dems. Nothing about his argument for keeping Joe Lieberman made any sense. He might take his ball and go home. Phuck it buy him a ticket. He might switch sides. NEWSFLASH he did that for the last 2 years. We need him to push through progressive legislation. LIEberman actively campaigned for republican senators so the Dems WOULDN'T get to 60. What the phuck would make them think that he is going to help them get to 60 on any key piece of legislation? Bigger than that why not call the Republican pricks bluff and actually make them use a filibuster. That will just make the country turn more and more against them!
.
But like I said I also fault Rachel Maddow for giving Bayh the softball treatment. I guess because she is just starting out she doesn't want to cross anybody that might come back on the show but somehow I don't think anybody is going to be tuning in to the Rachel Maddow show to hear what the phuck Evan Bayh has to say.

SG, That's why I got in there and became a independent too. We are a team of independents. Also.

And as for Bayh's suggestion that Joe would resign his seat let me explain why that would never happen-

In March 2005, Lieberman's wife, Hadassah, joined the Hill & Knowlton lobbying firm

I could actually hear Sarah Palin's voice while I was reading your comment. Scary
