Sarah Palin – blast from the past grabs opening

Sarah Palin, the raucous right-winger, former governor of Alaska, has announced she is running for Alaska’s only seat in the US House of Representatives, after the previous incumbent died last month. She was John McCain’s VP running mate in 2008 when the pair lost to Barack Obama and she has since been a vociferous supporter of Trump who has returned the favour. This is her first bid for political office in more than a decade and she will be one of a field of about 40 candidates.&nbs
