I\'ll forgive Palin though. After all, she and McCain are "mavericks."

Yeah, I wouldn\'t mind that, EXCEPT THAT SHE SAID IT IN EVERY OTHER RESPONSE.

Alaskans don\'t even consider themselves Americans first.
They are Alaskans first, Americans second.

Many Alaskans believe that Seward stole Alaska from Russia with his purchase of "Seward\'s Icebox."

Some Alaskans feel they should be their own country.

This is where my biggest complaint lies with Sarah Palin.

I have nothing against Alaska or Alaskans because I would move in a minute to Alaska and become an Alaskan.

I\'d leave Connecticuteer moniker behind.

Palin is pathetic and scary beyond belief.

Biden is the one who should be president.

Well, most Alaskans are only in the dark for six months at a time, but for Palin, it seems like a year-round thing.

LOL!

Well said.

Palin is pathetic and scary beyond belief.

Biden is the one who should be president.

I agree she is scary.

I don\'t know too much about Biden other than he says things that tend to bit him in the ass.

I think Obama would be a great President at the right time and place.

The next President is no going to accomplish much because he is going to spend 4 years cleaning a lot.

This has nothing to do with alaskans, but "state-centric" people in general.

I can at least forgive the alaska-first mentality, it is hudge and very much issolated.

I hate, with every fiber of my being "Rhode Island Pride." Rhode Island is a shitty **** state. The only reason it has not been absourbed into mass or ct is because neither of them want to deal with this festering pile of ****.

I see what you are saying but I don\'t know many other states other than Texas where they consider themselves there state name OVER being American.

Maybe, New Yorkers but that is about it.

so, California is now in line to need a financial bailout.

Why don\'t we just let the Chinese take over now.

I would add New Jersey to that list.  Whenver anyone asks me where I\'m from, I say Jersey (Not the United States of America).  I think the only time that comes up is if you\'re overseas and someone else asks you where you\'re from.

So you consider your self a New Jersean (?) and not american?

My point is they consider themselves Alaskan like one considers themselves American or Russian or British or Columbian or Mexian or Puerto Rican.

didnt\' read this whole thread, but did anybody see the interview with Palin where she couldn\'t even name a newspaper....classic.  kinda scary she could become president someday
