Sarah should say: "It would be unfair for a Governor to comment on an ongoing Senatorial campaign that has nothing to do with Alaska, so my answer is 'No Comment' and you can quote me on that"
Good point - the assumption you make here is that Sara’s handlers are broght enuf to see that ‘no comment’ is the only correct/safe/long term answer to give.
Unfortunatly, her staff isn’t known for being all that bright. Sara is a nice lady, and she IS loyal to her friends. The friends aren’t all that politically smart.
Trouble is, she needs folks with National political savvy. That is something that is really thin on the ground here in Alaska. Mark Beg-ich is Senator now because NY loaned him a campain manager that knew the stuff....and the Dems dumped 5 million in negative ads on the AO.
