Freeper Irony Alert Regarding Senator Stevens Conviction

[PBS Poll-435]

Interesting.

Backup plan for Gov. Palin.

If McCain loses the election and Stevens wins the Senate.

Stevens could then resign and Gov. Palin could appoint herself to the Senate.

Just something to think about.

Ted Stevens will not impact anything going into 4 November.
Except the Alaska senate seat.

Just got an idea! Draft Todd Palin so he’ll have a job in DC along with Sarah.

Stevens Guilty on All Counts

One of the reasons that Sarah Palin is even the Governor of Alaska is because Frank Murkowski pulled the almost-same exact stunt.
After winning the gubernatorial election in 2002, he appointed his daughter, Lisa, to his US Senate seat.

Because of the nepotism, Lisa narrowly won her election to the Senate in 2004, and just 2 years later Frank finished 3rd in the Republican Primary for Governor. Another unintended backfire of this matter was that Alaska changed the law so that the Governor does not make appointments in the case of a vacancy. There will be a special election for Stevens seat if he resigns.

1. "Just got an idea! Draft Todd Palin so he’ll have a job in DC along with Sarah."

WOW! That's a GREAT idea... Almost too great...


Hmmm, you're not one of those brainiac "elitists" are you? :rofl:

6. And since she'd be "runnin' the Senate," they would be able to have lunch!

:rofl:

2. Maybe they should put a moratorium on ideas over there!

3. She CAN NOT appoint anyone....

AK law REQUIRES a special election. so relax.

5. I know that.

The law was changed in 2004.

The point was that the FReepers have no problem with nepotism or corruption.

That thread should be etched into stone and put into the Smithsonian.

The exhibit should be called "The Death of the Republican Grassroots."

4. I'm reading now that AK doesn't do gubernatorial appointments any more.

Thanks to Blue_In_AK for the heads up.
