No, I didn't mean for it to be 'ugly' in any way, Susan. I was talking about
the cold weather hunting, fishing, etc.

I guess we just see her differently. She is not like John Kerry or Hillary
Clinton, joining the NRA at the last minute, OR, talking a brand new story
about duck hunting. Palin fishes & kills big game, and uses the meat to
feed her family.

And, I have heard her say that her "way" is the normal way in Alaska. I don't
know; I find her more impressive than most of the little political snits that
I see interviewed on television. And, she is 'different' than most of them..
To me that is good. Look what they have been to to us for years
