Tiny?
There is speculation that Senator McCain may pick Alaska’s governor for his running mate. Here is an example of the coverage from an AP story as presented on Yahoo:
As the political community turned desperate for any clues about the potential running mate of Republican Presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., speculation moved toward several dark horse candidates including Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the so-called “hockey mom” credited with reforms of her tiny, out-of-the-way state.
Close, but no cigar. Alaska is certainly out of the way, and has a rather small population, but it’s hardly tiny. Whether picking the unusual and accomplished Governor Palin for VP would be a wise choice is a matter of debate at this point.

Unlike Barry and Joe, Sarah has actually negotiated with a foreign country. And given the recent incursions into Alaskan airspace by “Bears”, she probably has a lot firm grasp of the Russian style of diplomacy.

“Tiny” — Should anyone expect journalism majors to have studied geography?

Should anyone expect these journalism professionals backstopped up by editors to consult an atlas or look at a map?
