Alaska is 47th largest state by population.

Only 3 states are smaller in population than Alaska. But if you include the territories then Alaska is also smaller than Puerto Rico.

1. Yes, and out of 600K residents, she won Gov by 114K votes...

to me, that's an interesting thing...

6. She didn't win by 114k. The results were 114,697 to 97,238

a difference of just over 17,000 votes.

7. Good point...

I just stated it badly. Still, that's not a lot of people turning out to vote.

8. Nope... and I thought I saw something where the natives were disportionately represented.

I wonder if they have the voting set up to make it difficult for them to vote.

2. And where does it rank in ear-marked federal $$ per capita?

I am pretty sure it is not 47th.

3. so what? it's not the size of the state. it's the fact that she's only

been governor for 19 months, and that she has little experience beyond that, and isn't well educated. I mean, by your standards Howard Dean wasn't qualified. After all, Vermont has a smaller population than Alaska.

5. Excuse me!!!! THEY started with her being governor of the largest state.

9. it's smaller than Memphis and nineteen other US cities
