Hundreds in Anchorage rally against Palin spot on GOP ticket

McClatchy Newspapers

Hundreds of protesters turned out in Anchorage, Alaska, today in a rally against Gov. Sarah Palin's candidacy for vice president. At least 500 protesters were outside the Loussac Library waving signs.

At least 100 Palin supporters were on the other side of the street showing support for the governor.

Protesters said they were surprised at the size of the crowd, and said it was the result of e-mails that have been forwarded over the past few days promoting the event.

"I was stunned when I was coming here; I've never seen anything like this," said Marybeth Holleman of Anchorage.
