OK....thanks for (finally) answering.

Schools can't hire or not hire people based on their religion. That's lawsuit material.

Of the largest state in the US.
She also has one of the highest approval ratings.
The democratically controlled congress can't say that.
If your shooting for the she is inexperienced argument....try comparing Johm McCain to Obama instead of the VP nomination to the presidential nomination.
Ohhh that's right her nomination takes any questions of experience off the table because then it would require the one guy with the least exp. to be "calling" it out.

Point taken, so I will stick with my thought that an atheist wouldn't want to teach this subject, seeing as he would be required to teach from the Bible and he doesn't believe in it.

Geographically the largest. Alot of Alaska is Frozen Tundra. That makes her the ICE queen. Alaska only has 600K. I live in phoenix, I can drive 5 miles and drive by more people.

Nice try

"The 2005 gross state product was $39.9 billion. Its per-capita GSP for 2006 was $43,748, 5th in the nation. The oil and gas industry dominates the Alaskan economy, with more than 80% of the state's revenues derived from petroleum extraction. Alaska's main export product (excluding oil and natural gas) is seafood, primarily salmon, cod, Pollock and crab. Agriculture represents only a fraction of the Alaskan economy. Agricultural production is primarily for consumption within the state and includes nursery stock, dairy products, vegetables, and livestock. Manufacturing is limited, with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere. Employment is primarily in government and industries such as natural resource extraction, shipping, and transportation. Military bases are a significant component of the economy in both Fairbanks and Anchorage. Federal subsidies are also an important part of the economy, allowing the state to keep taxes low. Its industrial outputs are crude petroleum, natural gas, coal, gold, precious metals, zinc and other mining, seafood processing, timber and wood products. There is also a growing service and tourism sector. Tourists have contributed to the economy by supporting local lodging."

Don't forget when you try and argue experience or the ability to run something Obama leaves himself wide open.

Hmmmm...Alaska 7 and Illinois 14th.
