Is it comparable to the rest of the U.S economically, ethnically, job diversity-wise, a complex infrastructure?

  1. Running Alaska is more challenging then running Arkansas.

    Are you saying Bill Clinton wasn't qualified when he was elected either?


  2. and what is the favorite color of these important Wasillians?

  3. Is it comparable to the rest of the U.S economically, ethnically, job diversity-wise, a complex infrastructure?

    Depends on if your talking large cities or smaller communites that dominate the US population

    In which case the answer is yes.

    Complex infrastrucure? Thae largest land area of the USA that has tempuratures well below zero degrees in winter and has unique infrastrucre cahallenges. No not the same but in some ases even more difficult challenges.

    Job Diversity - yes, unless your an illegal immigrant standing in a parking lot waiting to be taken for a cash in hand job at slave wages

    Can you tell me what cities that Obama and Joe Biden where mayors of?

    Governors maybe??


  4. Your question is "what are the demographics," after which you provide the demographics.

    Since you provided this information, can you also tell us how this is  comparable to the rest of the U.S economically, ethnically, job diversity-wise, a complex infrastructure?

    Please follow up with an explanation of why this information is important.

  5. Try doing the demographics on Alaska. It is much bigger and complex than Wasilla.

    I know you are trying to diminish Palin's experience by focusing on one aspect of her experience.

  6. Yep... REAL tough politics in Alaska.

  7. what? who cares, im not even gonna bother getting the statistics for Chicago...

  8. Just think, Alaska has almost as many people as Delaware, Biden's home state.

  9. It is fair to know the demographics because everyone knows just because you ran a successful grocery store anywhere in the USA doesn't mean you can run WalMart.
