I haven't had enough to do a diary about it, but I had a nice convo with a good girlfriend who is one of the lowest of the low-info voters. About Palin. And I was surprised.
I usually get into these conversations with a little trepidation. I mean, I'm soaked in politics 24/7 and I don't expect anyone else to be as into it as I am.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--Opponents of Gov. Sarah Palin's policies are being threatened.
Alaska Women Reject Palin, a local group that opposes the Republican vice presidential candidate, on Wednesday announced plans to host an anti-Palin rally this weekend.

Intimidation and squashing of free speech? Where have we seen that before?
UPDATE-You can DIGG this here. Let's get the video around so people see that not all Alaskans lurve their gov.
