What are the chances their current occupant steps down as Guv to have the Lt. send her to Washington in her preparation for 2012? She must realize her physical disconnect in the 49th was a big part of her rocky start.

I am under the impression that the governor doesn't appoint a Senator in such instances in Alaska, but rather the state holds a special election. I will try to look it up.
