How much can we trust the results? I mean, the Secretary of State reports to none other than Sarah Palin. What do we know about the state's Secretary of State? Can the person be trusted at all?

Alaska does not have a Secy of State--the Lt. Gov, Sean Parnell, fills in those duties. From his website, I perused a few of his speeches, and they sort of sound like what a mayor of a small town would say...I guess most of Alaska really is like a small town.

I think I missed something along the way. Why does it take the State of Alaska so dang long to count its absentee and early votes?

58.
( Cross our fingers for Franken...and then that would be 59)
even with all these newly discovered ballots, the turnout is down from 66.6% in 04 to 63.3% this year. this despite the governor being on the national ticket. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shannyn-moore/ala...

Why in the world are they still counting ballads? Has home schooling taught by the likes of people like Palin , dummed down their brains to the point where they don't know how to count higher than the ten fingers and toes most of them still have?

Well, Harry Reid says a lot of things. Hopefully, Begich will pull ahead with all those absentee votes and nail it.
MSNBC is re-running Lauer's homage to Palin, and it's hard to imagine, listening to her spinning like a top that she's not thinking, "Damn, I can't believe that red-blooded Americans preferred that n***** to ME! I'm gonna show 'em!" This is a woman who's full of revenge, believe it, and learns from her mistakes. She'll try to "burnish" her image and keep the rhetoric to a low boil--she's not stupid, but she is dangerous, and she won't forgive and forget, either. It's already been established in Alaska that she's a backstabber.
Be sure to listen to the speech she's going to give to other Rethug governors soon--next week? No, she's not going away quietly at all.

Here we go, from ABC blog:
ABC News' David Chalian Reports: Gov. Sarah Palin is clearly not ready to relinquish the spotlight following her defeat with John McCain on the Republican presidential ticket last Tuesday. The Republican Governors Association has announced today that Gov. Palin will be the featured guest at its annual conference later this week in Miami, Florida.
Gov. Palin is set to be a featured speaker at a panel discussion entitled, "Looking Toward the Future." Other featured speakers expected to partake on the panel are General Tommy Franks, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), Bill Kristol, Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), and Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC). (Try to count on one hand how many of those folks have 2012 circled on their calendars.)

A 52.2 to 47.8 advantage for Begich in the 70,500 early/absentee votes, excluding consideration of the questioned ballots, would give Begich a win.

" Under Alaska's constitution, she couldn't appoint herself, but she could run for the vacated seat."
But would she win? I mean, I know Alaska has this reputation for being so rugged and individualistic, the opinions of outsiders don't matter, and they could wind up voting for Palin as a means of flipping the bird to the lower 48 (plus, let's face it, I'm sure a lot of them love that redistribution of wealth she's extracted from the oil companies). But she's also an awful poster-child for the state, and many of her might just want her to stop claiming to represent them.

I was reading the MSP Star tribune paper and saw this quote. Then I jumped on line to see if i could find it, cut and paste the quote, I looked on line at the papers website nothing. Then I looked on the AP website and nothing, they have scrubbed this quote from all existence. Take a look at this fool palin's quote on her bid for 2012:
"I'm like, ok God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door" palin said in an interview with Fox news Monday.

Well at least she has got the valley-girl vote locked up!!
Sweet Jesus, I hope she runs in 2012!!!!!!
