Alaska Governor's Mansion Sports OBAMA-08 Sign

advertisement

An anonymous Mudflatter in Juneau was taking an evening walk past the Governor's mansion, found the following political sign in the yard, and sent it to Mudflats for all to enjoy!

Presumably, the Governor herself is not an Obama supporter….however, it looks like quite a few of her neighbors are. The following images were passed on by a different Junea Mudflatter. I've circled the Obama signs, and pointed with a red arrow at the Governor's mansion. Looks like Juneau is ready for change!

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

A not too subtle message for Sarah?

Not too much lately has made me laugh, but that's a good one. I'll bet the sign is gone now, but still...the picture is permanent record.

Obama doesn't need negative ads...  he's got the press!  Saint Obama is anointed by the press.  Who wouldn't vote for Obama?  Free stuff and lower taxes for everyone!!   Great political promises to buy votes!   No questions by the press;  no real numbers by Obama to tell us how.   Vote for this and you're as dumb as Obama thinks you are.

The only press reports I can find are negative to the Republicians.

i've been telling people from the beginining that even people from Alaska don't support her. She's a cook! I use to live in Alaska! And whether she's a woman or not, she does not deserve to be out Vice president...and looks like if Mccain is elected, she will be our President...oh wow. Please...you think we are having a bad time now....If fake 'hockey mom' is our vice..or Commander and Chief, we will be in a world of hurt! Obama may have negative press, but come on! You are not JUST voting Mccain in office. YOU ARE VOTING THIS CRAZY WOMAN IN OFFICE!!. I am a woman too and this idiot does NOT speak for me!!!! She's an idiot and so is the head of her ticket Mccain. Dogonit!! You betcha! I will not be voting for Mccain/Palin!!

Looks like that 80% approval rating was also made up by the McCain camp.

Anyone ever play "JENGA?"

I feel like people are slowly removing all of the bottom pieces and the whole stack is doing that little dance it does right before it falls over.

Free stuff and lower taxes for everyone!!   Great political promises to buy votes!   No questions by the press;  no real numbers by Obama to tell us how...

How about "I will freeze spending, buy all bad mortgages my friends... I know how to do it.." He NEVER explained how! How can he buy the "bad mortgages" if he's going to FREEZE SPENDING? Isn't that contradictory in itself? Don't be one-sided, if you're going to criticize do it for both.

Vote for this and you're as dumb as Obama thinks you are.

We're not all sheep following the herd. I'd like to think that most people who support Obama do it because they see through McCain/Palin. Palin wants more power than Cheney and THAT makes me scared. So yeah, I'd rather Obama thinks I'm dumb because I will be pulling for him.

And..........

If McCain could buy up all those bad mortgages..........That would most certainly cause civil unrest.

Why you may ask.

That would really put out all those people who have already lost their homes to this debacle of big gov.t.

And if he would help them too. How? Are they going to kick out someone who may have been able to buy that house already.

All I see is a bigger mess than what we already had. Which is exactly how the GOP wants it.

We should just stop fighting the third war we are involved in, Up there in space. That would add about 300 trillion every 10 yrs. .

great point. I did forget to mention the war. He wants to get out of Iraq with "victory", yet he won't define what that victory is. But don't tell that to the Republican fanatics, that's "waving the white flag." **sigh**
