I know this sounds odd, and I'm not sure how to say that. Bush won Alaska by about 25. However, in 2000, Nader hit 10% and Bush won by 31.

How solid is Alaska? What kind of candidate could flip it?

I voted 3.

Alaska did strike down medical marijuana, one of the reasons I made this topic. I'm confused about what Alaska is - apparently it's not so much Libertarian as "leave us the hell alone and stop it with the laws. I'm not saying yes to anything, folks."

So would it be fair to characterize Canada as an economically Libertarian, socially conservative state?

Haha. Freudian slip. I was discussing British Columbian-Washingtonian-Oregonian secessionist group in a chat room.

Alaska and Vermont are the only states who do not require a permit to carry concealed weapons. Alongside with the fact that Alaskadon't is the state with the lowest tax burden, it gives a pretty good idea of their nature.

Yet they voted against medical marijuana?

But the map says Alaska has freedom...which is good...because people say that...

Hmm.
