Must watch VIDEO: Human Obama logo in Alaska

By GottaLaff



Alaska Women for Obama, you rock!

Here is the video from last Saturday’s event in downtown Anchorage! Hundreds of Obama supporters gathered in the freezing cold for over an hour to send this video postcard to their fellow Americans “outside.”
Note: Watch to the very end.

Hundreds turn out for anti-Palin protest

By GottaLaff


The Awakening:
Hundreds of protesters are outside the Loussac Library in Midtown Anchorage in a rally against Gov. Sarah Palin candidacy for vice president. At least 100 of Palin supporters are on the other side of the street. [...]

It's the first public demonstration against Palin since she accepted McCain's offer on Aug. 29.

The protesters include a mix of Obama supporters, anti-war protesters, abortion-rights advocates and people upset that Palin asked a Wasilla librarian about removing books from the Wasilla library.

Protesters said they were surprised at the size of the crowd, and said it was the result of e-mails that have been forwarded over the past few days about the event.

"I was stunned when I was coming here; I ve never seen anything like this," said Marybeth Holleman of Anchorage.

Most of anti-Palin protesters are on the south side of 36th Avenue, in front of the library. The Palin supporters are across the street on the north side, with many shouting "Sar-ah! Sa-rah!"

The sweet, sweet sound of the tide turning.
