Just as I am about to resign myself to the fact Barack Obama could very well lose what should have been a gimme, a Palin protest breathed hope into this lifeless liberal. The Washington Post writes:
A couple of hours after Gov. Sarah Palin returned to the Outside, as Alaskans call the Lower 48, her local critics swarmed an Anchorage intersection to correct the widespread impression that the whole of the Last Frontier endorses her candidacy.
The midday protest outside a city library drew a crowd in the high hundreds -- perhaps surging past a thousand -- from the city's relatively liberal environs, who seemed very happy to see one another and be reminded that they are not alone.
A sense of festival obtained. There was a woman in a polar bear suit representing "Polar Bear Moms Say: No Palin." Drivers on 36th Avenue saw a little girl waving a sign "Don't Ban My Books."
Maia Nolan, 29, wore a sticker reading, "My Mom for V.P.""My mom is from Alaska. She's a working mother. She's good looking," said Nolan. "So she seems to be qualified to be vice president."
The din did not prevent reading the signs:
Bush In A Skirt
Palin: She Be Failin'
Jesus Was a Community Organizer
Palin: Thanks But No Thanks
Candidate To Nowhere
Voted For Her Once: Never Again!
Barbies for War
Give Palin Your Vote AND Your Draft Age Child
Sarah Palin: So Far Right She's Wrong
Coat Hangers for McCain
Sarah Palin, Undoing 150 Years of American Feminism
Hockey Mama for Obama (on a hockey stick)
