To Hillary and Hillary Supporters:

I am a young Alaskan female voter and supporter of Hillary since 3rd grade. McCain's recent choice for VP of Alaskan governor Sarah Palin outrages me! If the Republican party thinks that Hillary supporters will switch their support to SARAH because she is a woman they ARE WRONG. I supported Hillary because of her policies, her experience, her leadership. Those of us who live in Alaska know that Sarah Palin has NONE OF THIS IN COMMON WITH HILLARY. The ONLY thing that Palin and Clinton have in common is that they are female. Will female voters of America be so dumb as to only choose someone because of their sex? I hope not. Hillary and Hillary supporters need to stand up and show them that we supported Hillary because of the ISSUES, and --like Hillary said in her speech-- because of those issues we support OBAMA now. LET'S GET OUT THE WORD AND VOTE.

i am still not entirely convinced of my blog's purpose, so please excuse me if you think it is silly! i think that somewhere along the line it will be useful, and hopefully fun. the only thing i have to report on as of late is a great adventure i took a few weekends ago to the Wrangell/St. Elias National Park. oistein and i set off for Kennicott/McCarthy and had a fantastic time. the hike we took was phenomenal, i would recommend it for anyone able to take the very long journey (potentially flat tire infested) to this gorgeous spot. i have tons of photos, but these are some of my favorites. thanks, oistein for a great trip... i miss you already!
