JUNEAU, Alaska — They came, they saw, they ate cookies.

More than 3,300 visitors poured into the Alaska Governor’s Mansion on Tuesday for the annual Christmas open house hosted by Gov. Sarah Palin.

She posed for almost that many photos as Alaskans and a few out-of-staters grabbed the chance for some face time with the former GOP vice presidential nominee.

"Thanks for coming over. Merry Christmas to you," Palin said again and again to the stream of people over three hours.

3,300 is a lot of people, especially considering Alaska’s sparse population.

If she was governor of one of the “lower 48”, that number would probably have been one-hundred fold, but because Alaska is so remote, all of her supporters couldn’t travel that far for the “meet and greet”.

“Christmas open house”
“Merry Christmas to you”

This means more to me in so many ways than any BS Harvard law degree. The Harvard Law degree morons got us into the mess we are in now. Its time for a real American.

She is truly the one person that brings me any excitement when politics is brought up! As a woman, I am not all about “breaking the glass ceiling for women” or asserting our rights, but I do want someone with beliefs like mine and strong convictions and HONEST, OPEN, IDEAS for our future. Sarah Palin brings that to the table and I pray she is on the 2012 ticket because we NEED her kind of politics if we are to survive!

I’m worried about Sarah. Truly.

She is highly dangerous to the venal scum on the Left, and their diseased agenda for what is left of America.

I hope she has protection beyond the standard force afforded to the governor of Alaska.

Ain't it the truth!

Harvard is only impressive to other graduates of Harvard. And God knows we have enough "lawyers" in this country to specialize in everything from tobacco lawsuits to mesothelioma...we really don't need any more.

Be not afraid. God is in control, and I firmly believe he has wonderful things in store for Our Sarah and her family.

We just have to do our part “down here” to help make it happen!
