WHAT? Alaska? Hawaii?
Four years ago, who would have thought that candidates with strong links to the last two states to be added to the U.S. would be on the GOP and Dem tickets this year?
Gov. Palin of Alaska as the GOP VP choice? The state’s population was only 627,000 in 2000, just slightly over half the size of Hawaii, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The governor is a relative unknown to the outside of conservative Republican circles.
And, as someone asked at breakfast yesterday, if Obama is elected will Honololulu provide the Camp David of his administration?
Not the best choice of verbs:

It is Obama’s to lose at this point. Never thought a worse choice could be made than Dan Quayle, I guess I was wrong.
i’m not sure if obama could justify hawaii as being his camp david place … just because of the costs and the image hawaii has as being exotic and expensive. but, then, of course, how many times did bush go back to texas to hang out and shoot the breeze?
