I was going to say the same thing myself. Comparing Alaska's system to the rest of the continental US is ridiculous. I wish people did not think she was so attractive(I guess she is if you like Peg Hill mother types) Hopefully she will just go away, but Sarah Palin appeals to worst aspects of America. If the powers that be need a militaristic cheerleader, I am sure she will be made more palatable for public consumption.
