I know she has a lot of nicknames: “Barracuda” because of the way she played basketball at high school, Sarahcuda, … and on bumper stickers in Alaska you can read: “Coldest State, Hottest Governor.” That`s a nice title! But I`d like to add another one: VVV-Sarah. Because that is the feeling I got when she [...]
