Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by. And even those that didn’t honk looked wide-eyed and awe-struck at the huge crowd that was growing by the minute. This just doesn’t happen here.

So, if you’ve been doing the math… Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin’s rally that got all the national media coverage! So take heart, sit back, and enjoy…Sarah Palin most definitely does not speak for all Alaskans.

There’s a photo gallery (with some great signs) here: http://s521.photobucket.com/albums/w335/frsbdg/Alaska%20Women%20Reject%20Palin/

11. The key line from the piece:

"The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin’s rally that got all the national media coverage"...

The media, unfortunately would rather "heart" Palin than report the news.

10. Kudos to these smart Alaskans who are clearly 'more like us' than Palin..

Thank You for speaking out to OUR America.
Always had a good feeling for Alaska..until I was introduced to its Governor.
It quickly became the LEAST likely State I'd ever visit.

Palin has given Alaska a big black eye.
Thanks to all who gave her one right back with this show of separation from her sociopathic ideology.
