I thoguht the VP candidate was to shore up the ticket. Almost 30% fewer Alaskan voters voted for her in 2008 than voted for W in 2004. Not that 3 electorial votes count for much and the ticket already won them, but Alaskans didn’t show up in droves to support her.
There are Democrats in Alaska too. you know ?
She’s not running for President and with all the $hit that’s gone on in the 8 years and that last minute eco crisis, you’re expectations are unrealistic.
It is not that few Alaskans support her. By the time, the race was over by 9 P.M EST Alaska was still voting. Many republicans just stayed home instead of venturing out in the near freezing temperature outside. The same is true for California too. We had almost a million votes less. People just stayed home once the race was over by 8 P.M EST election night
There are 80,000 absentee ballots left to be counted. It’s why the Stevens race hasn’t been called yet.
