Did the governor of Hawaii just get applause for saying "Alaska can fit 250 Delawares inside of it"?

Question

For real, this is a reason to elect McCain/Palin?

Answer 1

She is so dumb,typical reps  

Answer 2

It probably should somehow emphasize the size of Alaska.

Funny however:

In terms of population Alaska can fit into 78% of DELAWARE!

or into three blocks of New York City :)

Answer 3

In terms of making a rational argument in favor of Hawaii, why didn't she play "the Don Ho Card"?

Answer 4

These are tatics used to teach 2nd grade geology

Answer 5

They apparently think it is more about governing land mass then actual people... well, perhaps to them it is. They offered the Gov of Alaska the VP so they could drill... Says a lot about their priorities.
