Relations between Stevens and Palin are icy. She ran for governor on a platform that railed against the kind of corruption that Stevens now represents. And now that the McCain/Palin ticket has been punched, it may add insult to injury for her to discover her beloved Alaska constituents actually prefer crotchety legislators who bring home the bacon...
