Bill and I need need help, because we may be a little heavy on conspiracys. With Sarah Palin on the ticket for president, how does a state get almost 100,000 less votes than in 2004. help me. Is it worth looking into? I find it odd that he ran knowing he faced sure punishment. Eveyone admits Alaska is currupt. I find it odd that everyone says that Sarah will take his place. I vote for Srephens to stay, just censor him. It will be an embaressment for the repub party and keep that idiot/cheater, Palin, on ice. and why in the hell is there 81,000 Ballots left to be couted?

"Everyone had a reason to vote," said Shannyn Moore, whose blog on one of the most popular liberal Web sites in the country, the Huffington Post, suggested the Alaska election was "stolen."
"Then people were what, listening to the news and couldn't pull away from their TVs to go vote at the last minute?"
Even conservatives appeared to be short counted, Moore said. The latest tally showed that the McCain-Palin ticket had almost 55,000 fewer votes than Bush-Cheney in 2004, she said.
Moore's blog, posted Thursday, has already been reposted or commented upon around the Internet. But even Democratic Party officials are saying she's jumping the gun.
"Nobody is charging 'shady,' " said Bethany Lesser, spokeswoman for the Alaska Democratic Party. But she said she's also confused about why more Republicans didn't support Palin, let alone Democrats coming out for Obama, Begich and Berkowitz.
"When I look at that vote, where are the people who are her people?" Lesser said.
