Alaska's population is not its only attribute. |
Alaska's importance is not in question, the claim that it takes much skill to govern that state is.
It's actually a compliment to the Alaskans: apparently, Alaska is populated by ~700,000 highly independent individuals capable of paying the heating bill in a subarctic region who just want the government to stay out of their lives. There just doesn't seem to be much to do for a governor, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: That said, this doesn't mean that Palin has no talent, I'm just under the impression that being the Governor of Alaska doesn't offer many opportunities to "show off" your skills.
