Palin's hometown reacts to loss
WASILLA - It wasn't the party they hoped for when several hundred people gathered for an election night rally in GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's hometown.

A pall was cast over the crowd Tuesday night when Republican candidate John McCain, with the Alaska governor by his side, conceded the election to Barack Obama. The concession was broadcast on large screen TVs inside the city's sports complex.

"I think America made a big mistake," said Phil Straka, a professional photographer from Wasilla.

-----

"It's just the beginning for Sarah. She'll be on the ticket in 2012," Kring said.

-----

And one booth at the rally featured "Palin 2012" T-shirts for sale.

I hope Palin remains a two month Tina Fey amusement for all of us. I'd prefer to never see her or Joe the Plumber again.

1. It must be nice to be so disconnected from reality.
I know not all Alaskans are like that, but from the stories my dad told me from his time in the army up there, it seems like a lot of them are a bit... well, off.

3. Oh just wait til the pukes pull out their longknives...
...Sarah Palin will be an object of their 'affection'. I don't see it for her in 2012. If you look at the whole shindig, she is a huge reason McCain performed so poorly in the voting booth.

8. Sure. Let her run in 2012.



She made it easy to beat her once. It should be just as easy to beat her twice.
