Palin's Alaskan Nemesis

The New Yorker has a piece on Lyda Green, the president of the Alaskan state senate, and Sarah Palin.
But in the competitive world of Alaskan Palin critics Green stands apart. She’s sixty-nine years old, a conservative Republican who represents Palin’s home town. Palin supported Green when she first ran for the state senate. Unlike some partisan critics, when Green speaks ill of Palin she sounds more like a disappointed grandmother than a political hit woman.
