I think you don't have any idea ...I live in Alaska. I think you don't have any idea what the hell you are talking about when calling for her impeachment. <BR/><BR/>Living in Alaska for a lot of people who live here has very little in common with living in the 21st century. For a state with such a low population density and with a rural population living off the grid and away from anything that could be generously called a road...having a technology saavy governor isn't a big priority when it comes to issues that matter in this State. Technology issues are not the priority here.<BR/><BR/>To put this into a context you might understand, we didn't get iphone data service for nearly a year after they were introduced in the rest of the country. We've got 3 fiber lines serving as the backbone for the entire state. Two summers ago 2 of the lines were cut in the same week, nearly cutting off the interior of Alaska from the rest of the world electronically for several days...including cell phone service, credit cards and bank transactions! That was a glorious week.<BR/><BR/>Before the VP pick, did you have any idea what the actual political landscape in Alaska looked like? Do you have any idea what the important issues were for the last 6 months and how the governor was dealing with them? <BR/><BR/><BR/>I was fine with her as my governor, before the VP circus came to town, even though I vote a straight democratic ticket in an effort to make sure I throw away my vote.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, she's better than the last one that was up here. And compared to the other state officials, she's actually relatively clean of Big Oil's direct influence in comparison. For a State that runs on oil money she actually had the balls to open up the gas pipeline project to a transparent bidding process against the wishes of the established oil companies here.<BR/><BR/>The open bidding process for the natural gas pipeline work she's been doing has probably been the absolute best thing for this state. And its a direct contradiction to the previous governor's attempt at giving away the contract to established oil company interests in a sweetheart deal with little public scrutiny.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying she'd make a good VP. Far from it. This place is different, I don't think being a good politician in Alaska translates into being a good national politician. But compared to the rest of the home-grown politicians up here, she's good value for money as Alaska's governor. <BR/><BR/>-jefJef Spaletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439754449677675460noreply@blogger.com
