Running a political campaign is no easy feat. For Democrat Mary Peltola, the former congresswoman from Alaska who is running against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan for a Senate seat, things just got more difficult after she was injured in a three-vehicle accident Saturday as she was headed to the Alaska Federation of Natives’ annual banquet.

The Anchorage Police Department reported the Democrat Senate nominee's vehicle was rear-ended and then hit a third vehicle.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured, but Peltola will have to cancel several campaign events even though we’re only nine days away from the crucial midterm election.

This is in Alaska

Are we sure this is the candidate Mary Peltola?

Maybe its another woman who also has the name Mary Peltola.

And what if the driver who bumped the car was another Dan Sullivan?

I knew a guy whose father was “Ed Sullivan” and he was invited and went to the TV show with others named Ed Sullivan for a funny event on the show.

I knew one of those Ed Sullivans.

Sympathy for what?
She was barely injured.
Fake accident if I ever saw one.

My son shares a name with an NFL player.
He gets lots of interview requests and texts from media and fans.

He gets a kick out of it.

Odd, since Alaska has many Inuits and they are known for their careful driving. Hope she recovers quickly.
