>>Thanks! Sounds like Murkowski is history. What about his daughter?<< Frank was recently voted the least popular governor in the US. His daughter is still in the US Senate, and is regarded more highly than her father. Palin will take over as Alaska governor in early December. There has also been a big turnover in the Legislature. The Republicans are still in control, but some are under the cloud of an FBI corruption investigation.

I am pleased to report that Sarah Palin was sworn in Monday as Alaska's new governor, in a ceremony MC'd by Libby Riddles (first woman to win the Iditarod). Frank went out in his typical graceless style. snowshoe@happiness_is_frank_murkowski_heading_south_with_two_cronies_under_each_arm! Final Appointments alaskanabroad.typepad.com Frank Murkowski ended his term as governor as he started it – with nepotism. When elected in 2002, Murkowski named his daughter Lisa to replace him in the U.S. Senate. Lisa turned out to be a pretty good Senator for Alaska. One can only hope Murkowski's latest family appointment will turn out as well. On his final day in office, Murkowski named Leon Van Whye to the Alaska Railroad Corporation. Van Whye is Murkowski's son-in-law.
