They carried signs with sayings like "Real women are not lipstick wearing pit bulls."

Unlike other pro- or anti-Palin rallies that have been held around the state, the Saturday morning event did not draw a counter protest.

Former state public health director Peter Nakamura told the crowd that Palin has done little to insure quality health care for Alaskans.

Paula Terrel, a commercial fisherman, described Palin's record protecting fisheries as "dismal" and Tony Strong, an attorney and Tlingit Indian, said Palin was no friend to Alaska Natives.
