I have to admit, Sarah Palin has made this race much more interesting.

I am guessing Mike and Levin will have a thought or two to share about this:

it's typical GOP bullshit on the environment and conservation.

I'm a card-carrying member of the Sierra Club.

I think Y chimed in on that one, too, when I tried to lobby on behalf of defenseless wolves everywhere.

We should do a poll about this practice. I'm genuinely curious.

Anyhow, I agree with JL. One thing you can say for this race, its entertainment value just went way up.

Then what's the issue? Is this part of the liberal left's greater campaign against hunting?

Yes, they don't like shooting wolves from planes in the winter when they look like video ga,me targets running across the snow (that is a paraphrase form the article). IOW, they can't control their kids so they take it out on Alaskans.

This has some potential as a wedge issue.

Rugged westerners and manly mans will side with Palin, some of the coveted women votes will lean toward Obama.
