For US readers who are trying to figure out who Sarah Palin is, who better to go to than local media and local bloggers?
Wasilla, Alaska
The picture is from Mudflats; a blog of a writer who loves his state and is a close observer of politics. It’s a sharp blog with lots of background.
In his post Local Reaction to the Palin bombshell he collects reacts from various politicians.
Start with What is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan’s Perspective This blog has a sidebar of categorized links, including an extensive section on Palin.
Other Alaskan blogs:The Immoral Minority on Sarah Palin’s first nationally televised speech. This blog has a sidebar of updated links
Another is Progressive Alaska which has varied opinion, great sidebar which includes links to Alaska media.
Update: Rev. Mike raised a good point:
What do the blogs on the other side of the aisle say, BD? Seems to me that a 90% approval rating must’ve come from somewhere.

Cute duck by the way. Or is it a goose? Anyway, here’s an article I wrote exposing Obama and McCain. Bottom line, when you peel back the rhetoric, you’re getting four more years of Bush either way. Don’t be fooled again. Please read this.

Good point Mike. I’ll go look – I’d like to stick to Alaskan blogs.
Any ideas?
I’m an independent in Alaska that has voted for people on both sides of the aisle as well as independents. I think Sarah has been doing well for the state and would be a decent VP. Read some of my posts on my website for more of my thoughts.
