Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Sarah Palin's Wasilla Is Home to the Iditarod

October 02, 2008 05:00 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

Fans of Sarah Palin are fast learning about her days playing basketball for Wasilla High and her time as the town's mayor. Well, get this: The town is known for something much more important. The Iditarod Trail Committee, which hosts the annual dog-sled race, is headquartered there. From their website is this address:

Iditarod Trail Committee
P.O. Box
870800
Wasilla
, AK 99687

What's more, the site displays the temperature in Wasilla, which runs about 50 degrees this time of year. Here at Whispers, we're big fans of the race and figure that if John McCain is elected, the 2009 race might have a very special VIP pulling the starting gun's trigger on March 7 in Anchorage.

SARAH PALIN

HELLO FRIENDS IN THE NORTHLAND

I WISH EVERY PERSON ON EARTH HAD THE MORALS OF THE

PALIN FAMILY

IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE. HOWEVER THAT

IS NOT SO

SHE IS TOO GOOD TO BE IN WASHINGTON. I SAY THIS FROM

THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

I WANT HER FOR VICE PRESIDENT BUT I HATE TO SEE HER

GET IT. HOWEVER SHE COULD BE SHINING LIGHT IN THE

DARKNESS OF WASHINGTON

debate between Gov. Palin and Senator Biden

I respect Senator Biden very much. I think he is a really good man, but during this debate, I didn't think he had his heart in what he was saying. There wasn't any enthusiasm to his answers, and he was always looking down at his podium. It was as if his answers were memorized and he had some notes on his podium to refer to. I found him rather boring, whereas Govenor Palin was full of life and enthusiasm and you knew that she really cares for the people in our country. She also looked directly at the people when she was speaking.

Too bad the Obama-Biden court and the pro Obama media is so negative and bad mouth everything Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin have to say. Just a little advice to the above-----You really turn us off. Middle America isn't so vocal as other places in our country, but the more the media tries to find negative things about Gov. Palin's family, the more Middle America is going to vote for McCain. We are not necessarily Democrat nor Republican; we are just Americans voting for the candidates we think are the most honorable and really care for the USA. In other words; all the negative press and negative advertisements just gets disgusting and old.

If the press tears down Gov.Palin--the press is pushing everyone to vote just the opposite..

Come on and give Sarah Palin a break. Lets be fair and truthful to one another!

Sarah Palin
