    Reject Palin rally equals size of welcome home rally for Palin

    A local conservative talk show host read the home phone numbers of the rally organizers over the air so people would call and harrass them, but people still came to the rally. Not everyone in the great state of Alaska is enamored of Ms. Palin. She's made a few enemies while in office.

    But the pro-Palin crowds "in the field" are up to 10 times greater.

    Everyone who didn't show up is pro-Palin. Gotcha.

    Just ugly women who hate her because she is beautiful, the US is full of them. Otherwise they would give her a break. I mean a month ago they didn't even know of her and now they hate her??? WTF?

    Even Obama and his campaign seems to have forgotten who they're running against.

    There are a few more people in Texas than in Alaska.

    Of course. That's how all women cast their votes for the future--based on who's pretty. It's you guys who're gonna vote the ticket because of her looks. ;)

    You're right. He was wildly speculating about sizes of pro-Palin crowds "in the field". Furthermore he was making an apples to oranges comparison after making that speculation. I guess it is a bit different.

    You do realize that Palin has an 80% approval rating in Alaska, right?

    No "speculation" about it. McCain/Palin are/were packing them in with Obama-type numbers just last week.

    80 / 20 = 4. That's not 10 times greater, it's 4 times greater.

    That's two nonsense posts in this thread so far.

    Actually, there were quite a few men at the rally, too. I guess Sarah doesn't give everyone a boner.

    Which just makes it more sad.

    You call a rally "Alaska Women Reject Palin" and you have to pad the total with an unspecified number of men to even get a lousy 1400?

    No, the homos would get shot in Alaska. All the homos are in Hawaii.

    Admit it, MR. You dislike Palin for more than just having a voice like a woman. You hate her because she's smarter, prettier, and more successful than you, don't you?

    Consider the population of Alaska and how they are spread out. That's pretty impressive.
