Alaskan secessionist blogger breaks with Palin: Voters ask, "Is this the change we need?"

Having the AK governor run for VP ties Alaska more strongly to the union. This is bad news for everybody, because it cements the most one-foot-out-the-door state to the union in the most opportune time for getting the fuck out. That stays a federal divorce for at least two more years, depending on who's elected, which reenforces the idea of federal inevitability in the rest of the states. A sense of federal inevitability means less self-determination, because no matter what the people of any given state want, they feel resigned to remaining part of the US, because alternatives aren't being presented as an option. |source|
