Curiously, in addition to a Republican governor, Alaska has two Republican senators and a very long-serving Republican representative in Congress, but all three tend well into the "moderate" RINO range of conservatives.
You'd suppose that a state so full of rugged individualists would want Federal government out of their hair, but maybe they see strong government as a defense against known & unknown dangers.
Anyway, in hindsight I share President Trump's and most FReepers' disdain for John McCain, but still think of Sarah Palin as one of the best things he ever did.
Agree !
I’ve said this before Alaskan friends (once strong supporters of Palin) say Palin’s time has come and gone.
Ironically (and sadly), they remain “rugged individualists” just about as long as the checks keep coming.
It will be “interesting” to see what happens after Murkowski retires what with the vacuum that is going to leave.
