Palin PING!
Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
The circus about Kim Elton's senate seat is over. A compromise was reached on who to seat for the vacant Democrat seat.
While this isn't the candidate Palin originally wanted (first Grussendorf, then Nelson), at least the rabid Obamabot Kertulla was denied the seat.
Egan is said to be rare Democrat not overly hostile to Palin.
See here for more: Conservative4Palin on Egan's confirmation.
Palin PING!

Now she should resubmit her choice for AG, Wayne Anthony Ross. ;-)
Gads. She hasn’t been “erratically appointing and abandoning candidates.” The candidates had to be approved by the Dems, and they refused, so she had to keep on until she found one that would be acceptable to them without being too unacceptable to her.
Gov. Sarah Palin on Sunday appointed former Mayor Dennis Egan to represent Juneau in the Alaska Senate, after the community has been without representation for more than half of the 2009 legislative session. Senate Democrats met in a secret meeting an hour before Palin's announcement and "unanimously and enthusiastically" confirmed Egan to the position. The appointment also won quick praise from Reps. Beth Kerttula and Cathy Munoz, Mayor Bruce Botelho and Juneau Democratic Party Leaders... On Saturday she was backing legislative aide Tim Grussendorf, but on Sunday gave Egan the nod.
....and then the real story;
Grussendorf and college administrator Joe Nelson were rejected by Senate Democrats. A third, Alan Wilson, was not a valid appointment, said Senate Democrats, and he was never confirmed.

BTTT
Wow, so Palin was forced to appoint a scumbag?
Congratulations to the scumbags.
