I forgot to mention this in the first post.
Alot of Alaskans seem to be excited that they are getting some attention on the national level. She is extraordinarily popular here (80% approval rating), but people are concerned that she doesn't have alot of experience. They are also concerned if she does get elected, then the Lt. Gov. moves up and he is disliked by alot of people.
The interestng thing is that she is currently under investigation by the state of Alaska for illegally firing her ex brother in law, a state trooper, over custody arrangments.
It will be cool to have such a close connection to the election. I changed my lesson plans for Friday and all we really did was talk about McCain and Palin vs. Obama and Biden.
A funny closing note from Fox News "Sarah Palin has lots of foreign policy experience, Alaska is really close to Russia."

Jay Leno had the best comment the nite that Sarah was selected..."John MaCain has selected his running mate. Her name is Sarah Palin. Yep...that's pretty much what we know about her." St Paul is trying to figure out how to hold the RNC on a day by day basis due to Gustav...even the major news anchors left St Paul to go to New Orleans area. It looks like it will be a "hair rearranging day" again at the lake...solid wind for 4 days now.
