I know nothing about her in particular, but the Alaska repubs have to be the most corrupt political organization going since the Grant administration, which could get interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And she's anti-abortion. I guess he's not pandering to the middle?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Exactly. He appeases the wingnuts and the PUMAs. Ugh.
