I would say the lesson learned in Alaska is if you are unhappy with Senator Lisa...it’s best to avoid the Republican primary and vote long and hard for the Democrat running. I’d give up on the state mechanism working and just settle for the lesser of evils.
As Alaskans re-elect a liberal Republican promising pork, the losers will be them. Because there will be more federal strings attached and a further erosion of state sovereignty. The new energy projects that Palin ushered in will get killed while the crony capitalism among the oil companies and politicians will start over.
