It will, there is a lot of good places for people to see and Rust's Flying service will get lots of calls from people wanting to go to that one stream and see the bears. Same wth K2, they will get calls for flights to the Mountain.

I just wish it was about Alaska more and missing the Politics of it. Palins can do a good job of going around and seeing Alaska, but ditch the petty stuff.

The kids don't fish, it was clear they didn't know how to cast or reel in the line to get a hit. Todd clearly did, but that seemed to be about it.

It is a really gorgeous place. I would like to visit - but don't give Sarah and her brood any credit.

Yep, the Palin threads here for the Anti-Palin crowd are like a bug zapper for the moths, they just can't stay away from the light!

Pretty entertaining....

She quit because one gal in Anchorage kept filing ethics complaints against her that were all proven false, and done so for the price of a postage stamp, she was Bankrupting the Palins. Had the gal did that to the State Legislators and gone to the press as she did, the case would be instantly dropped, the Governors office was exempt from that law. They weren't allowed to raise money for a defense fund because of the State Law, so she resigned and sold her book and made millions.

That law has since been changed since she left office, you file an ethics complaint against the Governor now, and run to the press, it is automatically dropped whether it has merit or not. They are suppose to be investigated privately and the results made public after a up or down vote if it was warranted.

But the real story of why she quit isn't very interesting, so people go with the "She is just a Quitter" and leave it at that, facts have very little meaning.

Funny though that before she ran for VP, she was the highest rated Governor around, something like in the sixty+ percent range!

That's kind of wimpy, to quit because someone was "makin' stuff up". What kind of a person rolls over like that? If I was innocent I'd go to the grave to prove it.

I watched the show, and liked the scenery. Also I think, with the ratings its getting, will bring in some more tourism. Personally I can't stand her, with her policies she screwed up this state, and I just can't stand it's voice.
I will watch the show again.

Well if most of us were at the point of having our home repo'd, assets seized or other such issues, I bet most of us here would look at other options as well. You can only stand on a sinking ship so long and either go down with it or get on the life raft.

She choose the life raft and is now pretty financially sound. Seems most here think she should have sank though... myself, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

We The Sheeple willingly line up at the stupid trough is all those ratings prove.

We all are "The Sheeple" you are talking about. It all depends on which side of the issue, including food, one is. For example, you may not like Palin, but another may not. One may like a Big Mac, while another may like a piece of tofu. The bottom line is that every one of us is a "sheep" to one thing or another.

the answer to your question:
No. Just the people in this forum. If you go to the Alaska trapping, hunting, shooting, and a few other forums, those who like Palin outnumber the rest.

I seriously suspect that Sarah is believing her own PR, all the hype has gone to her head.
