AK-AL: Palin's Former In-Laws Back Her Rival

The parents of Sarah Palin's ex-husband held an election-eve party for her opponent for Alaska's open House of Representatives seat on Monday night.

Jim and Faye Palin hosted the event for Republican Nick Begich III at their home in Wasilla. More than 100 people were in attendance, according to Must Read Alaska.

Palin, who gave up the Alaska governorship to be late Senator John McCain's running mate on the 2008 GOP presidential ticket, is one of three people running to replace late Rep. Don Young.

Young, who won Alaska's only House seat in 1973, died in March at the age of 88.

Palin's attempt at a political comeback is endorsed by Donald Trump - but it appears she does not have the support of her ex-in laws.

Palin did not give up the AK governorship to be McCain's running mate. She resigned in 2009! 50 Shades Of Blue Aug 2022 #1

Remember, she got 2 media gigs, and quit those, she quit on her marriage (OK, so husband was a tool, but then so is she), and she quit working on her own ghost written autobio.
Quit, quit, quit, quit...

The woman definitely has a follow through problem.

So, I looked it up.

After graduating from high school in 1982, Palin enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.[29] Shortly after arriving in Hawaii, Palin transferred to Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu for a semester in the fall of 1982. She returned to the mainland, enrolling at North Idaho College, a community college in Coeur d'Alene, for the spring and fall semesters of 1983.[30] She transferred and enrolled at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho for an academic year starting in August 1984. Beginning in the fall of 1985, she attended Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska. Palin returned to the University of Idaho in January 1986 and received her bachelor's degree in communications with an emphasis in journalism in May 1987.[30][31][32][33]

So, it's 5 schools but 6 different times in & out. For a BA in journalism that she barely used.
Geez, it took me 5 years to get my 1st MS, and I was working full time after the BS.
And, I don't consider myself as a paradigm of diligence!
