Wow!!! There is a lot of moving parts in this turn of events. Mayor Dan no doubt wasn't too happy to have another guy with his name come into his families turf (generations of government in Alaska) and grab a US senate seat. The Repubs have been casting around for someone to take on Lisa and I guess Dan's their boy. Lisa will get kicked around by her "repub friends" which there are very few. And the end of all this is it's politics as usual. It's nice to fiddle while Alaska burns thanks Nero!
