What do Hawaii and Alaska think they're trying to pull?

[Radical Activist]

We've got someone from Alaska on one ticket and someone raised in Hawaii on another.
Don't they know this country is supposed to be run by us mainlanders? I think they're up to something but I'm not sure what.

[trof]

1. Yeah! Damn Johnny-come-latelys.

Lets hear it for the CONTIGUOUS 48!

[Radical Activist]

4. I don't know what it is but I know they aren't getting away with it!

No bridges to Hawaii! They're lucky we even let them have starts on the flag!

2. LOL!

:rofl:

Thanks, I needed that.

6. All I know is that I won't support putting William Seward on any currency.

Not even on a three dollar bill!

[NNadir]

13. Seward was a great man.

Really he was. He was an active foe of slavery and he, not Lincoln, was widely expected to become President in 1860.

Lincoln appointed him Secretary of State.

Lincoln had to put him in his place at the start, but once put there, he did great things for his country.

He was badly carved up by an attempted assassin on the same night Lincoln was shot by the same conspirators, and was not expected to live.

The story is ably told in Doris Goodwin's "A Team of Rivals" which is a great analytical work of history, one of the finest books I've read on the Lincoln Presidency.

3. She was born on the mainland - Idaho

5. Another newer state! Very suspicious indeed.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. Idaho...That explains a lot.

Oh give me a home where the eco-thugs roam,
where the fundy freak-a-zoids all play.
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
for the gun clubs all keep them at bay.

8. heh

You have to watch out for Senators in bathrooms too.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. They're trying to pull the other one.

Duh.

:rofl:

[tigereye]

10. that's actually kind of cool, if you look at it that way

[Broken_Hero]

11. Damn those lower 48ers....

We (Alaska) still get no respect....:evilgrin:


:hide:

[AlCzervik]

12. wy do you hate noncontiguous states?

and the troops and America?

[Awsi Dooger]

14. It's interesting to me

I always follow the statewide races in those states very closely.

At least we don't have Linda Lingle on the GOP ticket. I can't stand her.

[woo me with science]

15. Cokie Roberts had better be consistent.

Has she expressed any dismay about this new foreigner yet?

[Radical Activist]

17. Will she describe Palin as exotic?

[Dr. Strange]

16. And another from Arizona.

That's one candidate involved in the last three states admitted to the union.
Fortunately, you've got Biden, from Delaware--the first state, to balance things out!

[Radical Activist]

18. Just think of all the older states who have never had a President before.

Who do these people think they are cutting ahead in line like that?
