Palin should have run against her.
Palin would probably lose. My impression is she doesn’t have the following she used to have in Alaska.
Also one thing I learned from the Murkowski independent run, Alaskans only want you to think they are rugged individualists (I guess that so you will keep watching the reality TV shows!). There is a very large contingents of “gimmiedats” in Alaska! Murkowski relied on them to get her seat back and to keep it!
Palin should have stuck out her first term, having a book ghost-written while doing so, so as to pay for the nuisance lawsuits the Dems were bringing against her.
It’s a shame because if she had simply done that and stayed away from the reality TV (no, it’s not the same as what Trump did in reality TV) — and the Senate would likely be her floor today.
Just a shame.
