I am not making things up. The national news networks are already in Fairbanks setting up for this weekend.

Where did I say you made it up? She's ratings right now. Publicity stunts sometimes work that way.

Sadly, I'll have to miss the big event.
I am not certain if I will be there. The whole town will probably be there, since there is food and all kinds of things available to the public. I would not mind going to take a few photos, or maybe getting my photo taken next to her, but more than likely the press will be surrounding her.

He doesn't for the most part but when they start trying to steal our water from us in Georgia, we will fight! That is OUR water and we decide who gets what of it!

That free food should draw them in. Will they be serving turkey sandwiches do you think?

I would think you'd damn near die and float to heaven if you got a personal photo op with her. Just think of the photochop opportunities that would provide for you Probably just as well for your poor wife that you keep your distance....wouldn't want her to dent her frying pan on your head again.

When she was elected governor, she did the same in Fairbanks. The new governor will be sworn-in in Fairbanks this weekend. I have no idea if it's a stunt or not, but the food served should be just fine.

I believe that there will be BBQ grills going all day, so maybe hamburgers, hot dogs, and such. There will be too many people there for me to be able to take a few photos of her. Besides, the major networks will be in my way. Hmmm... I do have a 400mm lens for my camera, and this camera can see through clothing Maybe i can climb a tree and takes photos from there

My wife and I (plus our dog) will probably be going on a long drive down the Richardson this weekend.

You have no idea what boompa was writing about C Street? It seems odd that someone who's questioning people following the careers of "other" governors has no knowledge of one of the (many) scandals regarding his own governor.

So many questions and so little knowledge. My wish is that his family can be restored and that he will realize what he almost lost. Life isn't all about ego and some people have to swallow their pride for the sake of others. I think he did a good job choosing the first wife and hope he learns to appreciate her. She certainly has more character than the "other woman."

We watch what happens in some states because they seem to trickle down into other states.
It would have been easy for her to find out with a mere google search. Since she's a reporter, I'm sure she has the skills. Don't blame her entirely, and don't diss her.
