What's with the Alaska hate? Oh, and that "little" state is nearly two and a half times the size of Texas. You may call it a "welfare state", but clearly, we have a very strong interest in making sure it's somewhat populated.
- gnaritas 18y agoLand mass isn't relevant, it's little because it has a small population.
- unalone 18y agoThe Alaska hate is partly because of the Palin "horror stories" (her wanting to ban books, her abuse-of-power controversies, and her being popular despite that), and because Ted Stevens is a convicted felon who Alaska reelected.
