From the N.Y. Daily News
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin just can't escape her old archnemesis.
Twenty-six years after beating Palin for the crown of Miss Alaska, Maryline Blackburn is setting her sights on a political title.
Blackburn, a Democrat, will announce Thursday that she is challenging the Republican incumbent Rich Golick for his seat on the Georgia House of Representatives, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Since becoming the first African-American to win Miss Alaska, Blackburn moved to Georgia shortly afterward and went on to a career as a singer and actress. Palin, then the reigning Miss Wasilla and now a Fox News contributor, finished as second runner-up in the 1984 pageant - but also took home the title of Miss Congeniality.

@Reggie
I hope she wins.
If not for your blog I could have never known such information. I wonder what she feels of Sarah Palin then opposed to now. That said, Palin does appear "congenial."
@Don
She may not have known Sarah that well. But it's interesting in so many ways that she beat Sarah for Miss Alaska.
I get the feeling that Sarah might not be such a congenial person behind closed doors.
Don is right, you do provide info on black women that I would never receive elsewhere. I'm glad you are around.
BUT Palin Miss Congeniality??? Ha ha ha....
@CO
