I'd rather see some sort of progressive (conservative or liberal) who has a vision for the future, and has ways to address our economy and the current outlook of our various industries (For example in AK energy, coal (world wide) is fading fast, Alaska oil has issues versus lower 48 fraking and tar sands oil, and AK LNG lacks transport infrastructure from slope). I would like a politician who would push heavily for green, fish-friendly energy (no hydro-dams, instead in-river hydro, tidal, wave power in addition to wind, solar and other) to ADD to our current oil and natural gas production. Plus a bullet LNG line to Fairbanks, with a tap to ship gas via barge up and down Yukon River wouldn't hurt. Also to increase fish hatchery use around the state, & to boost all salmon/fish in rivers.

I am tired of Alaska's and the nations leaders seeming stuck in retrograde, trying to drag us back into the past.  Palin is a whole lot of old school thinking, in a closed room with the oil industry.
