Last Sunday there was a "Welcome Home Sarah Palin" rally in Anchorage, followed by an "Alaska Women Reject Palin" rally. I've been curious about how Palin is received in her home state and found the following on Mudflats, a blog about Alaska politics.
"Basically, in Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it’s a success.... Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers ...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. ["Mudflats'" emphasis, not mine.] ... So, if you’ve been doing the math… Yes. The Alaska Women Reject Palin rally was significantly bigger than Palin’s rally that got all the national media coverage! "
And here's an interesting YouTube video of some of the attendees:
