Do You mean Wally Hinkle? I can't think of any other Alaskan Governor, I mean, they all basically fade away without making any contributions to the National Political spectrum, Nope can't think of a single one.....
As for an incomptnat president, I think James Polk has had an unfair treatment by history.Oh, Wait, there is another.
At least Polk won a war (and against an enemy we need to teach yet another lesson to).
Polk is rated quite highly and considered a strong President by most historians. Maybe you’re thinking of Franklin Pierce.
