Alaska in the news

[theatokos]

In this month's issue of Vogue two female governors are profiled: Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kansas) and Sarah Palin (R-AK). It's a good article profiling two strong and competent women in government. I think it's cool that Vogue decided to profile them. Occasionally Vogue has a great article... good thing I knew to watch for this, otherwise I'd have missed it seeing as how I'm not a Vogue reader. I think it's interesting that Palin is not photographed upclose or in her traditional hair-up-and-glasses look. She's quite an attractive woman, however you dress her.

Also, this AP article lists Sarah Palin as a possible Republican VP pick. I think that would be cool. She's the only Republican woman on the list of potentials. Sebelius is also listed as a possible VP pick, but for the Dems.

Yeah...our Gov'ner keeps getting mentioned, but I don't think he will get it. There is no way in hell that Minnesota will swing Rep. and the other Mid-west states don't give two shits about our Gov'ner.

I also keep hearing whispers that McCain will pick a Blue Dog Dem as his running mate. Can't see it happening, but wouldn't THAT be fun if it did?

That would be ca-razy! But as much as I have issues (rephrase: ultra high standards) with this election, I'm actually quite pleased with the Clinton-Obama-McCain crowd. I think their choice of VP will help clarify their intentions - and also has the potential to shake things up. It'd be great to see a male/female ticket on both sides, though!
