Blackburn qualifies
A woman who out-shined Sarah Palin in a beauty contest and has been twice nominated for a Grammy award officially qualified today to run for a Georgia House seat.
Maryline Blackburn of Smyrna qualified as a Democrat, vowing to be a watchdog for residents in the district served by Rep. Rich Golick.
“I am concerned about House District 34’s current representation,” Blackburn said. “Our issues and concerns are being ignored and it’s time for new and better representation in the Georgia House of Representatives.”
Blackburn is a two-time Grammy nominated recording artist and won Miss Alaska 1984, beating second runner-up Sarah Palin.

Maybe being beaten by Blackburn explains Palin’s strong antipathy towards our own President of the United States.
