That states there were trade missions, though possibly none from Russia.  Which makes the comment "She has no foreign policy expierence"wrong... as states on the boarders often need to make trade deals with other countries.

Being next to foreign countires gives you expierence because you have to make such negotiations at times.

I also find it weird that this went in to a thing about Palin when this thread was originally about how Pelosi taking away the "Shared political cover" might of caused the Bailout to fail.

 

It talks about one trade mission to Yukon... which means the "trade negotiations with many foreign countries" claim is, so far, unproven at best.

She's next to Russia, yet there's no evidence of any trade missions with Russia.

@Sqrl: If you search for mccain un resolution you'll get plenty of links about McCain's call for an UN resolution on Russia. Not that that matters much, I was just replying to bigjon's attack on Obama.

 

There is also energy policy talks with Finland's president, which were ignored from your particular source due to no doubt bias... since about every other article on it talks about that.

There are also records of her talking to a russian foreign official... ammusingly in articles attacking her for not seeing them enough since Alaska and Russia have a strong foreign relationship due to being right next to each other.

Aside from which, there seems to be a claim that some law prevents them from talking about trade deals.  Which some people claim is a way to get around it... but haven't proven that such a law doesn't exist.
