The main problem with Miller was not been an "establishment's" Republican like Princess Lisa, not that he was a bad candidate. Once the establishment republicans got a jolt from Miller, they saturated the press with muddy stories about him, and the Princess won the election.

When Palin was elected, she was opposed by a lot of the establishment Republicans, and even as a governor she had a lot of opposition from the lawmakers in Juneau.
