McCain's VP pick Palin has ties with Alaska Independence Party


Turns out McCain's VP pick Sarah Palin used to be a member of the Alaska Independence Party and as governor she recorded an address to their convention earlier this year. See here and here for videos. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with that (plenty of other stuff wrong with Palin, though), but not exactly what you would expect in a VP nominee. With Obama supporting the Akaka bill, which reactionary right-wingers think will lead to "secession" for Hawaii (even though most who support Hawaii's restored independence believe the exact opposite) and Palin who is a reactionary right-winger having ties to the AIP, that could lead to some interesting independence dynamics in the presidential election politics this fall.
