Sarah Palin To Lisa Murkowski: I Can See 2022 From My House
[Hot Air] That would be a dynamite primary. The Palins and Murkowskis do not care for each other, due in part to Sarah ending Frank Murkowski’s governorship by crushing him in the Republican primary in 2006. (Frank is Lisa’s father.) A Palin-endorsed challenger successfully primaried Lisa herself in 2010, leading to some casual sniping between them during the campaign. This is one woman who won’t quit on Alaska, Murkowski said at one point during her campaign, just a year after Palin abruptly resigned as governor. She went on to win the general election as a write-in candidate and hasn’t looked back.Could Palin beat her? Murkowski’s not super-popular back home. Morning Consult pegged her approval rating this summer at a tepid 40/43. Palin wasn’t very popular back home at last check either, though. In 2014 Public Policy Polling measured her favorable rating at 36/55. ("Public Policy Polling is a left-wing outfit!" cry furious Palin fans. Which is true, actually.) A year later, in 2015, her *national* net favorable rating was 24 points underwater and just 27 points above water within her own party. Not normally the stuff of which successful primary challenges are made. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-10-06 |
