Alaska vs Chicago
Sept. 4, 2008
I just did some research via wikipedia and discovered the following:
Alaska National Guard - 3800 soldiers
Alaska State Troopers - 240 officers
Chicago Police Department - 13,600 officers
I guess this makes sense since the City of Chicago has nearly 5 times as many people in it as the entire state of Alaska. Does this mean that Mayor Daley would have been a good candidate for vice president? He even has foreign policy experience since he visited both China and Rio de Janeiro in his quest to host the 2016 Olympics.
Edit: Barack Obama's state senate district population: 781,037. Alaska: 683,478. Barack Obama's campaign staff: 2000 paid, approx. 2 million volunteers. Alaska state employees: 15000.

One state employee in every 45 people seems like a lot of state employees, doesn't it? Is that a typical ratio?
Or in other words, what are they doing up there anyway?

Mayor Daley has a checked history of thorough involvement in Chicago's well-known and corrupt "political machine" (as was his father). Works well in Chicago, not so well on the national stage. (Witness what it is happening to Palin and her relatively tame corruption/pork ties.)

Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!

A lot of the things you mention is supprisingly legitimate and that makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this with this light before. This piece truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. However at this time there is one particular factor I am not too comfortable with so while I make an effort to reconcile that with the core idea of your issue, allow me observe exactly what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Well done.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
