You're forgetting that Lisa has won two elections since being appointed.  She beat Tony Knowles and then she had the courage to run against Joe Miller--the lawyer who lied about illegally hacking into computers and tried to hide taking federal benefits he called unconstitutional.  Thank God she ran against Joe Miller, and thank the Alaskans who voted for her.  And if "RINO" means she's not like Joe Miller or Sarah Palin or that ilk, then God bless RINOs.
