Palin makes a controversial pick for Juneau vacancy

Gov. Sarah Palin has the right to nominate a Juneau Democrat to fill the state Senate seat vacated when Sen. Kim Elton, D-Juneau, left in mid-term to take an Obama administration job. That's state law. But the law also says the appointment has to be ratified by a majority of the Senate Democrats.
The two sides have to work together to find someone agreeable to both. There's certainly a big question about whether Palin's choice meets that criterion.
Gov. Palin chose legislative aide Tim Grussendorf, who was registered as a Republican until weeks ago. His registration as a Republican was curious, since he previously ran for state House as a Democrat and is the son of former Democratic House speaker Ben Grussendorf.
Given Tim Grussendorf's strange history with his party registration, Gov. Palin has given Senate Democrats ample reason to reject the nominee. Juneau Democratic Party officials are urging them to reject the choice.
And this shows that she's corrupt how? Or that she has made a mistake how exactly? I'm sorry...I just don't see the issue. If anything if she were a dem nominating a republican you guys would be calling her "bi-partisan".

Do you know anything about the guy she picked? Anything?
Honestly...no. But if he's corrupt, maybe the OP should have mentioned it?
Why? If the OP did a little research, it might turn out that Palin acted in good faith and that would ruin everything
