Oddly enough, I'm spending a week with my parents in Wasilla, AK, where Sarah Palin was mayor for before becoming governor just two years ago.

As y'all are learning, Palin's political career outside of Wasilla has been just two years as Governor, so her experience in Wasilla is sure to be discussed heavily over the next few months. Let's examine what life is like in Wasilla and what kind of changes happened while she was on the City Council and Mayor, shall we?

[updated: added pics of City Hall, her office when Mayor, and the exurban sprawl that is Wasilla]

After Kerry has won the election, I think all the pundits will be looking back at the news in the past week (especially "game-set-match" KSTP video) as the pivotal point in the election, establishing that Bush/Cheney just weren't playing with a full deck when they rushed into Iraq with too few ground troops.

It jives with the "candidates are neck-and-neck" horserace story that they've all been promoting, as it allows them to say that the "impact of the missing explosives issue was never fully measured in polls", thus CYA on all the polls that were wildly off the mark of the Kerry landslide.

What is the best metaphor for how Bush/Cheney lost the race in the last week?

Take the poll!
