4. I defended Dean against this charge

and will defend Palin as well. She still had the same types of responsibilities as other governors and more than ones from weak governor states such as Texas and Mississippi. There are many reasons Palin is unqualified to be President, the size of Alaska isn't one of them.

5. And I'm sure RI also has the oil companies giving them tons of $$$

and sending checks to like every human in the state? What? They don't? What a joke, a half-term governor in a state that gets all this Fed $$ and oil company $$, and she's gonna "balance the budget?" right...

6. Charolette, NC has more people than Alaska,

In fact the 20 largest cities in the US all have populations bigger than Alaska.

7. What the hell is Alaska?
