I would assume that you are Alaska Native? Do you think that maybe she tempered her comments somewhat in Homer and tried to sound more independent because of where she was? Everyone knows that Homer is a liberal little enclave in this red state. She sure couldn't come out guns blazing against the affordable care act, women's rights and whatnot as easily in Homer as she could have in Wasilla, for example. Just a thought.

Why did the Native corporations throw all their support to Lisa instead of Scott McAdams? How do you see the conflict between tne Native corps and the tribes?

And yet .... she voted for the Blunt amendment. Blue_In_AK Apr 2012 #1
