turning maybe purple


The theme of our campaign was ‘new energy.’ It was no more status quo, no more politics as usual, it was all about change. So then to see that Obama—literally, part of his campaign uses those themes, even, new energy, change, all that, I think, O.K., well, we were a little bit ahead on that.

Something’s kind of changing here in Alaska, too, for being such a red state on the Presidential level. Obama’s doing just fine in polls up here, which is kind of wigging people out, because they’re saying, ‘This hasn’t happened for decades that in polls the D’ [the Democratic candidate] ‘is doing just fine.’ To me, that’s indicative, too. It’s the no-more-status-quo, it’s change.
