In the Alaska Gubernatorial election of 2006, more Alaskan voters voted for someone other than Sarah Palin.
According to Wikipedia
A total of 238,307 votes were cast.
Of these, 122,625 went to a candidate other than Sarah Palin who got 114,697.
51.5% of Alaskan voters did NOT want Sarah Palin as Governor.
I guess Alaskans did vet Sarah and the majority of voters did NOT want her as Governor.
One more McCain lie down.
