These pix are from the “Alaska Women Reject Palin” rally in Anchorage. According to mudflats, the blog from Alaska that covered the rally:

Basically, in Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it’s a success. So, I thought to myself, if we can actually get 100 people there…we’ll be doing good. A real statement will have been made. I confess, I still had a mental image of 15 demonstrators surrounded by hundreds of menacing “socialist baby-killing maggot” haters…

The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they clicked off well over 1400 people (not including the 90 counter-demonstrators). This was the biggest political rally ever, in the history of the state. I was absolutely stunned. The second most amazing thing is how many people honked and gave the thumbs up as they drove by.

This is the second great link we’ve been sent from mudflats, which is becoming the voice of the rest of Alaska that you don’t hear about on the mainstream news broadcasts. We’ve added it to our blogroll under “Western.”
