I am so glad to hear that the Alaska Republican Party has ended its censures of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski and state Sen.-elect Kelly Merrick now that they have won their races. Those poor women probably haven’t been able to sleep, thinking about the effects of being censured by such a respected and powerful body. They can probably look forward to being censured again in the future, at which time they will probably once again win against their party-endorsed, two-dimensional opponents.
