Yes, the great state to my north is GOP country. Yes, Sarah Palin is from there and a very popular governor.
But Obama can now kick in his 50-state strategy and win Alaska.
And all it will take is a map.
How?
Simple, really. Just dig out all the quotes from gop insiders about how she's part of middle America. How she'll have great appeal to flyover country, which we dems don't understand from our east and west coast locales.
then point out that heck, Alaska has a coast. the west coast. if the McCains fly over it, they must be heading to one of their condos for an overseas vacation.
Middle America? It's next to Canada. And Russia. It's farther west than Hawaii. And we know re[ublicans think Obama is suspect because he vacations in Hawaii.
"I worked and lived in Chicago. Middle America," Obama needs to say. "I know flyover country. The GOP doesn''t even know where it is, because it thinks it's next to Alaska."
And to Alaskans: "The GOP says they're proud to have a candidate from the heartland, from flyover country. They don't even know where you're at."
