By now most of you must have heard about the rally of women against Sarah Palin in Alaska a couple of weeks ago. Though the corporate media did not dein to cover the event the bloggers did and the emails and photos have been ciruculating around the globe.

Well we now have Part 2!

At an even larger event the people of Alaska came out in force to reject Palin and let the world know that in spite of her campaign touting how popular she is, Alaskans don't believe she should be VP.

This write up from a local blogger at the mudflats, captures the feeling;

The day started out exactly as I had imagined - a gorgeous slightly chilly fall morning, with sunshine aplenty. I arrived really early, and the sight of an empty park made my stomach shrink, even though the rally was not due to begin for another hour. I made another quick sign. The time went fast. I started hearing honking horns and realized that sign wavers had started to gather along the road. I looked at my watch….12:00. Not nearly as many people as I had hoped. Stomach shrank more. Then I thought….well…it’s a beautiful day. People are out enjoying the weather, and hiking. Maybe I should have hoped for clouds. It would be OK, I told myself. Historically, anything over 25 people at a sign waving event in Anchorage is a rousing success. I had to remember this. And people may have just had one good rally in them and that was that.

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.

There were 1500 protesters at the last rally. This time there were more. If there weren’t 2000, it was really close.

It seems that there was more coverage of this second rally. Let's hope so. McCain is more than willing to flap his gums about how popular Sarah is back home... Seems like her popularity may be waning. (there are great photos on the mudflats as well, Alaskans seem to be very creative sign makers!)
