Good move by Governor Palin.
BTW it's typical for the lib ADN to dismiss anyone they oppose, like they belittle Nelson as a "little known college administrator".
Here a part of his actual resumee:
Nelson] has been a member of the Sealaska Board of Directors since 2003. He is chair of the Finance Committee, serves on the Shareholder Relations Committee and is a director of Sealaska Environmental Services, LLC.
[He] is currently director of admissions at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) and is a former director of Preparing Indigenous Teachers and Administrators for Alaska Schools (PITAAS) program. As director of admissions, he is responsible for all of UAS's outreach and recruitment efforts. Born in Mount Edgecumbe, AK, Joe was raised as a commercial fisherman in Yakutat. He is a member of the Teikweidí (Brown Bear) Clan, eagle moiety of the Yakutat Tlingit tribe. After graduating Yakutat High School, Joe attended college in Southern California. He received a Bachelor of Arts in political science from UCLA in 1996 and earned his Master of Arts in American Indian studies in 1998. In 2001, he received a Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School.
For more details on Nelson and the Senate seat issue, read this entry at C4P:
After the president they've given us, Democrats have no right to talk about thin credentials ever again.
Part of the qualities of a good leader is do they pick good subordinates? Is this a good subordinate? I do not know since he is and unknown. He may be. It is up to conservatives to check out Nelson with an open mind.
Very shrewd political ju-jitsu by our best girl.
Tear ‘em up, Sarah!

She’s running out the clock on them and making it tough for them to reject HER choices. Masterfully played! I luv it!
My Girl rocks!
Pres.Sarah Palin Bump!!!!
Governor Palin has a very strong and creditable record of bipartisanship in most of her major policy and legislative initiatives. Democrats were happy to support her when their ideas were listened to. In this Senate appointment the democrats broke precedent in offering only one name, a name utterly unaccepable to the Governor. In doing this they sought to demean the office of the Governor and to embarrass and humiliate Sarah Palin. Their behaviour was petty and irresponsible and they deserve the smackdown they are getting. Needless to say Axelrod’s trolls at the Anchorage Daily News are in fetid mood. He is obviously not paying them enough. He needs to hire a better class of minion.
Again, Gov. Palin plays chess.
Gov. Palin would also know how to take care of the smug smile of Nazi Pelosi and Harry Reid
