I remember Mike Huckabee's line from earlier on tonight about how Palin as Mayor of Alaska won more votes than Joe Biden did in his run for President. I thought it was a funny line at the time, but it turns out that Huckabee's claim is blatantly false, just like a lot of what we heard from the pugs tonight
From Fist Read: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/...
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Mike Huckabee made the claim that Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.
For the record, Joe Biden got 79,754 total votes in the Democratic primaries.
As of the 2000 census, the population of Wasilla was 5,469. It has been reported at currently more than 9,000.
That would mean, conservatively, the entire town of Wasilla would have had to have had a 100% turnout for nine years at 9,000 to top Biden's primary numbers.
Someone should pass this info along to Huck. Such Bullshit....
