Tim, let's start with a few facts. Alaska is the largest state in the United States in land area at 570,380 square miles, more than twice as large as Texas, the next largest state. It also lies 500 miles north of the U.S. The cost of living is much higher than the national average. Looking at monies on a per capita basis does not provide an accurate assessment.
Also, Joe Biden is a Senator (no executive experience) from Delaware, a state with a comparable population as Alaska, but about 1/229th the land mass size at 2,490 square miles.
Now, as to Obama...talk about inexperience! And quite a few skeletons in his and Joe Biden's closets as well. But we won't elaborate as most everyone understands they are typical politicians in the true sense of the word.
Governor Palin is a smart, strong, principled woman who not only talks the talk, but like John McCain, walks the walk. We're thrilled to have her on the ticket. Now, does that help you understand our enthusiasm?
