Alaskan Politics (statewide and nationwide) (shops, homeless, vehicles)

Yahoo is a piece of cake to hack into. I doubt that she used it as her work e-mail.

I voted were doomed. Only because there was no option for " I won't be voting for anyone". I'm livin on the edge man.

The way I see it, Palin (when compared to Obama), would be more qualified to be a president than Obama. There is not one thing in Obama's resume that even gets close to what Palin has accomplished already.

Obama is nothing more than an air bubble made into a messiah by Oprah and the news media.

Don't condon hacking at all but if she has been using her yahoo account to conduct business could this be interpreted by some to have been a ploy to avoid freedom of information disclosures.....

To conduct what business. Her personal business, or official business?

[warptman]

State business! Ok, this proves she's a moron...

Or, perhaps, as the previous poster commented "a ploy to avoid freedom of information disclosures....., or she is just stupid. From the "leaks", it is apparent that she was conducting official business on those accounts. So, the questions are: Is she stupid, or trying to hide something?

I was undecided as to who to vote for, but her pick as VP convinced me to vote, either Dem, or Libertarian.

You could look up the bill, but I'm trying to think of who you could ask to give you an idea of what some of the people believe that it would mean specifically to them---Bobby J or Jerry M? Personally I don't see it as affecting my life; I don't do subsistence and boosting commercial fishing would just boost my bank account. Good think money doesn't mean **** to me.



I don't think it's a circulating e-mail---similar things are all over the Native American media. And the bills were listed and can all be found on the Alaska.gov website.

Still, since only one side of the issue is presented, how can anybody tell what palin decided on each issue? Was she following the AK Constitution, or the mandates by the Federal Government in relation to the control of fish and game in Alaska? Should a governor renounce the State Constitution and let the Federal Government take over?

Those are some of the issues I am referring to, and the ones that are not mentioned in your post. All we see is one side accusing the other, with no defense from the other side. Palin seems to be very popular in the rural areas. At least that's what has been seen in resent elections by the number of votes coming from those areas. The same can be said about Stevens and Don Young, since the rural vote always push their vote count up. We just saw that recently when Parnell was winning early in the night, and then Young pulling ahead with the rural vote.

Is she stupid, or trying to hide something?

Is that an either/or question? Or do we have the option of "both of the above"?

[Metlakatla]

I don't know, Ray. She isn't popular in my rural part of Alaska. According the the ancestor I spoke with tonight, she's referred to there as the mayor of the meth capital of Alaska.

The other side of the issue can be seen in court documents. As I said before, they are readily available to the public. People can and should make of them what they will. But I do have to say that as far as some of these being leftovers from previous administrations, Palin had the choice of whether to continue with litigation...or not.

According to the news:

revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate.
