The Hill"Think of those huge shoes that are to be filled when we consider Don Young's longevity and his passion, his love, his fighting spirit for our wonderful state of Alaska and for the nation as a whole," the former governor added.
"If I were asked to serve in the House and take his place, I would be humbled and honored and I would. Yeah, in a heartbeat I would," Palin told Newsmax in an interview, adding that "we'll see how this process is going to go in terms of filling that seat but it would be an honor."
Young's office announced on Friday that the lawmaker had "passed away today while traveling home to Alaska to be with the state and people that he loved."

(12,539 posts)I guess she doesn't think there are enough crazy Republicans in Congress. I hope Alaskans think long and hard before sending her to Washington. I know there has to be a plethora of talented politicians in the 49th State.
