It's one of those things that make you go, "hmmmmmm.."

I mean fewer people showed up to vote then they did last year. That doesn't make any sense.

All the poles being hugely off.

It's taking a long time to count a very small number of votes.

Something just seems wrong.

fewer people voted in alaska this year? a few reasons for that, we dont get as much campqaign money in our shows and how ever else they distribute. Plus BO gave up as soon as palin was announced
It takes a whie for rural villages out west and north because id guess they dont know how to use phones
and dont compare us to the rest of u, we dont like being in a recessions so we do business in a way that lets us profit
It isnt uncommon and has happened in previous elections that it takes around 2 weeks to count

then u can only go so far with a car, even in our largest city which in size is bigger than LA i belive but id doubt if we even had half the roads LA does.
if u go from Anchorage u can get a few hundred miles east but u couldnt make it anywhere near the capital, planes and boats, aleution islands which is west of anchorage stretches on so that in latiltude and longitude we are the farthest west and eastern state in the US. Everything is done by plane which is why if u wanted to become a pilot, its way easier to get flying hours and many pilots come up hgere for that reason

It is weird that the count is not over. People in AK may have been turned away due to the media hate and misinformation. The media were so negative people began to question the govenor who turned around the state for the better. The election is over regardless

The race in Minnesota is going to a hand count too. God forbid Rush Limbaugh's counterpart Al Franken wins the Senate seat. The Air America radio show turned me away from the funny guy from SNL.

Franken is definitely an acquired taste but Coleman is really dumb. He needs to go.

Palin had a pretty easy job to do though, all she had to do was undo what the previous governor did, and this message of media hate and misinformation has no base, ted stevens will probably win because he has the native voters.
i knwo u must think these states r carzy for not announcing a winner with 50% of votes in

Franken is not a moderate, more of a loone. Coleman is the average politician wanting everyone to think he's great. Great advisors can help either man, problem is, neither is impressive.

i figured out why more people voted last presidential election in alaska
Obamas change couldnt compete with keeping marijuana legal inside your homes if it isnt broken up and is under 4 ounses
