Palin says N.H. reminds her of home

DOVER, N.H., Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Republican Party vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, campaigning Wednesday in New Hampshire, said the state reminds her a lot of Alaska.

"We all love good moose hunting, I know that. And we both so enjoy our great lands, the clean water and the fresh air and the abundant wildlife and good fishing," she told a crowd in Dover, N.H.

Alaska and New Hampshire are also similar in their dislike of taxes, neither state has a general sales tax or income tax.

"You know, I hear that here in Dover there's home to two kinds of people, the fine people of New Hampshire and then the fine people of Massachusetts who got sick of paying all those taxes," Palin said

Palin said she wished Alaska had New Hampshire's state motto --"Live free or die."
