Couldn't resist shining a light on this. Yesterday nearly 2000 Alaskans turned out in Anchorage for the Hold Palin Accountable Rally, organized by Alaskans for Truth. AKMuckraker has a fantastic account of it on his great new blog, The Mudflats. Here's an excerpt:

 

I started snapping pictures of signs. There were some really good ones. My favorite? “Hey, Sarah! I can see the end of your political career from my house!” I was cheered. After 20 or 30 minutes of photographing signs, I looked around. I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed, but a massive influx had happened. Both sides of the city block between 9th and 10th Avenue were packed! I went across the street to the opposite corner to get a good shot of everyone, and… I was not alone. Cameras everywhere! Local TV news from every station, the Anchorage Daily News, unmarked video cameras in various sizes, photographers with lenses 2 feet long scurrying around, people with hand-held devices talking to protesters…. It took my breath away. I had to stop what I was doing, and just stand, and look.

 

I said it after the last rally, and I’ll say it again. This does not happen here.

 

In his latest post he also embedded an awesome video, made by another blogger, frsbdg, of photos from the rally intercut with pictures of Palin, set to the song Don't Lie, by the Black Eyed Peas. Gotta see it.
