Alaska gives Palin cold shoulder

Updated on 03 October 2008

By Channel 4 News

More4 News heads back to Sarah Palin's hometown, Alaska, to see what the people there really make of her.

With no major gaffes, it's not entirely clearly whether it was Joe Biden or Sarah Palin who did more to carry their boss to victory on 4 November.

Two polls conducted after the debate by US networks CNN and CBS News, judged Mr Biden the winner. However, the CNN poll found a large majority thought Mrs Palin had done better than expected.

She played up to her folksy, hockey mom image, in touch with ordinary Americans.

Yesterday in the first of our reports from Sarah Palin's home territory, Alaska, we went on a hunt to find a moose, Palin supporters and the vice-presidential candidate herself.

Tonight Inigo Gilmore continues the quest for Sarah Palin and finds out why the Palin effect will never wash with some members of the electorate in the city of Wasilla, where she started her political career.
