...because there are fewer welfare recipients, fewer inner city ghetto dwellers, fewer urban crawlers per capita.The small states are in fact 'in touch' with what works. It's just not working for your liberal agenda.

That truly sounds like you are quite the racist. In any case... Meanwhile, in the real world of facts, Alaska had just about the same number of recipients of welfare that NY did, per 10,000 residents, 15th in a ranked list of all 50 states. There aren't too many ghettos there in the arctic, I recall...nor, big Urban crawlers. Have another argument not jaded by your own racist thought?
LOL.. I'm not a racist.. I'm a member of an urban minority, live in an urban area and some of my best friends are white.So, how does racism make your point that palin's (or any other small states' governor) approval rating is skewed?
The scream of "racist" or "racism" signals the end of meaningful discussion, and the loss of the argument by the person screaming it. Those are the only points proven by it.
Simply put, "Ghetto" is slang for a poor, african-american neighborhood. Using it in the manner he did, implies that poor african-americans are the reason for welfare. Please replace your critical thinking bulb...I think it's out.
Hangtime, Alaska is such a special case among the states, that governor's approval rating (whether high or low) doesn't say much about how good or bad that governor actually is.
Racism doesn't. You implied that smaller states were less likely to have recipients of welfare. Less likely to have "ghettos" (Poor african-american neighborhoods). I simply showed you the facts that the second smallest state in the union is number 15 out of 50 in Welfare recipients, when applying facts. Your argument is null.
A ghetto is described as a "portion of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure."
