Maryline Blackburn
*Down in Georgia, Maryline Blackburn, the woman who defeated Sarah Palin for the title of Miss Alaska 26 years ago is following in sassy Sarah’s footsteps. Sorta.
Blackburn went on to become Alaska’s first African-American representative to the Miss America beauty pageant. Palin, the future GOP vice presidential nominee, was a flute player from Wasilla. She was named Miss Congeniality.
Today, Blackburn, a resident of Smyrna, GA for the last 24 years, is scheduled to announce that she’ll mount a Democratic challenge to Republican incumbent Rich Golick for his House seat, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Blackburn, a singer and actress, has said nice things about her encounter with Palin 26 years ago. But she voted for Barack Obama in ’08.
GO Ahead! Ms Blackburn! I wish you much success. She is very attractive, alot better looking than Caribou Barbie! LOL
I love the storyline of this. Get it girl!
Sistagirl kinda reminds me of Bernadette Stanis from Good Times.
If Sarah can make it in politics, anyone can. I hope the sista has a decent platform and gives old boy a run for his money.
For “God’s Sake” Please do this!!!
I think her platform will be: “I beat Sarah Palin.”
And in a Democratic race, that will be enough for a landslide, lol.
