As additional information, and as an example of the typical PR blather and baloney that streams from the lipsticked motormouth of the Wacko Wingnut of Wasilla, I submit this excerpt from the link provided above:
"When asked what a trip to a swing state like Florida does for her political ambitions, the former Alaska governor said, "Haven't thought a darn thing about the politics of this. I'm thinking about this good, active, speed-loving event that a lot of Alaskans, too, are really into. We've got our snow-machine races up there, and this is, of course, on a much greater scale, same type of sport though, same type of breath-taking, speed-loving, All-American event that we like to see up north."
Sure, Sarah, all you came to Daytona for was to gush about "this good, active, speed-loving event that a lot of Alaskans, too, are really into." And, yes, all of us are aware of the very close similarity between NASCAR races and dog-sled races. Indeed, one needs to look closely to tell them apart. We all know that 10 or 12 dogpower is roughly the same as 300 to 400-horsepower and that the only difference is that one kind of race is on snow over a long course with a beginning and an end with practically no spectators along the way, and the other is a roaring about within a paved, closed track adjacent to bleachers packed mostly with screaming, beer-guzzling rednecks. Other than that--pretty much the same. Oh, one other thing, sled dog races are delayed only in the event of extraordinarily bad weather, whereas the Daytona 500 was stalled for hours by infrastructure breakdown in the form of a 2-foot pothole!
Would you feel better if she showed up at a normal liberal dimocrat event like a dope deal and subsequent robbery, shooting and murder or a gang rape or looting a store or a carjacking/murder or a mother putting her baby to death or an executive having sex with an underling? Give me the NASCAR crowd ANY DAY.
