In 2002, Frank Murkowski, as the new governor of Alaska, had the authority to appoint his Senate replacement. Among the finalists was then-Wasilla mayor Sarah Palin, but he chose his own daughter, state senator Lisa Murkowski instead. Indirectly, that led to Murkowski's fall and Palin's defeat of him in 2006. Let's say he appoints Palin instead. How does her career change from this point?
