  4. Yes that is why they call her that to my understanding.

  5. that is about the size of it..she is a man eater..lol

  6. This is straight from Alaska.   A friend of mine has a daughter that lives there and just sent this message to him.  Although she won the title of "Miss Congeniality" in a beauty contest, her nickname became Fire and Ice.

    "GREAT PICK for McCain, As a 10 yr resident of Alaska , I can't think of a better selection for VP. I did not hear her name untill she was overwhelmingly elected GOV. I have a lliberal daughter, who is an attorney in Anchorage. She says that this recent mommy has guts to say no to power brokers in AK such as Hickel,Sheffield, Tony Knowles , to mention some names of shakers and movers .I suggest you listen to her and see for yourselves. "

  7. Because she is supposedly aggressive.

  8. She bites her husband.

  9. I think we might find out at the VP debates.  I'll have my popcorn ready!

    I saw her in an interview.  I believe she has got more brainpower going that the rest of them put together.

  10. Are you sure that's not Sarah King Salmon?

  11. No, because she was an ace Hockey player during her teenage years.

  12. Supposedly earned the name as a basketball player and the name has lasted since she is stubborn.  Some in the foreign press call her the "iron lady" (link) which I had never heard.  I hope it is not a hygiene problem, you know a fishy smell.

  13. She is very competitive. She got that nickname playing basketball. She is also a hunter, fisher woman, and iditerod racer.

  14. Once she caught a barracuda fishing

  15. Thats part of it. I like what the one reporter from Alaska had to say, "The landscape is littered with the bodies of those that have gone up against her."

  16. Yes - and because she's a VERY tough opponent, as well as being a star athlete

  17. It's because she drives a '66 Plymouth Barracuda.
