Laughter, boos, it's got it all. There would be nothing sweeter than an Alaskan win. Highly improbable, but a Laffy can dream, can't she?
UPDATE: Oh, this is priceless... (from another Alaskan blogger, Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis):
Suh-nap!Tina Fey does the Palin act masterfully; it is nothing to an educated and skilled actress of Fey's caliber. I suspect the Wasilla schools did teach diction when Sarah was a child. Sarah's parents do not speak in her affected manner, so it did not come from her home. Frankly, I have never heard a middle class Alaskan speak in the vernacular Palin affects. If she claims to be imitating Alaskans, then I find her act to be false and insulting.
If you watch carefully, Sarah Palin puts on her strange vernacular precisely when she cannot handle the question, as if to imply that the some mystical shared knowledge of nothing overcomes all (wink-nod). The problem is, Sarah Palin is not that good an actress. Especially when you know to look for it, and we Alaskans know when to look for it now, the put-on comes across as flat and affected. For Sarah Palin the act is all about twinkles, winks, flutters, and fake smiles.
