While Sarah Palin has swooped into other states, babbled about grizzly bears and lipstick, and helped influence some primary races, it turns out that the people who know her best don't care what she has to say when it comes to primaries.
But the outlook doesn’t seem as promising for another Palin favorite, Joe Miller, who is waging an uphill bid for U.S. Senate back in Palin’s home state. Palin endorsed the Fairbanks attorney in a June Facebook posting, calling him “a true Commonsense Constitutional Conservative.”
A new survey, however, has Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski crushing Miller in Alaska’s Aug. 24 primary, 62% to 30%, and shows Murkowski to be considerably more popular than Palin.
Maybe Queen Sarah can play kingmaker in Republican races in Nevada, California, and South Carolina, but Alaskans don't seem to care who Sarah likes best. But then, given that in Alaska, her approval numbers are 47% negative and 41% positive, it seems Alaskans don't seem to care for Sarah at all. Also.
