Elli promotes maverick-i-ness

From today's RCJ article covering the District 32 Senate race:

“I’m a little like the maverick Sarah Palin — what you see is what you get,” she told a forum audience, referring to the Republican vice presidential nominee and Alaska governor with strong support among the party’s conservative base.

Maybe a little. I personally think Elli is far nicer.

This was interesting...

Asked about her past pitched battles with Adelstein for Republican Party support and his endorsement of her Democratic opponent, Schwiesow seemed to indicate it didn’t come as a big shock.

“We’ve always stuck together in Pennington County, and we’ve always supported each other,” she said. “So was I surprised? I don’t know. All is fair in love, war and politics.”

Stuck together? Like when the Republican leadership threatened (and then delivered) to remove every Republican Senator that voted against the no-exception abortion law HB1215 in 2006?

All's fair, indeed.
