When Palin, who went on to win re-election by a landslide, was forced out of the Mayor's office by term limits in 2002, her husband Todd's stepmother Faye Palin ran for mayor.AWESOME.
She did not, however, get Sarah Palin's endorsement.
A couple of people told me that they thought abortion was the reason for Palin not supporting her family member — Faye, they say, is pro-choice, not to mention a Democrat. A former city council member recalls that it was a heated race, mainly because of right-to-life issues: "People were writing BABYKILLER on Faye's campaign signs just a few days before the election."
Faye Palin lost the race to the candidate that Sarah backed, Dianne Keller, who is still mayor of Wasilla.
AND, ER... UM.... SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AWKWARD FAMILY GET-TOGETHERS!
*******Update: Well well well" Faye Palin has endorsed her daughter in law. AWESOME. Via Hot Air.
