A.R.P. I'm sorry we put you on blast today. I love people over 50 for the record.

Like, in the same way that Trump loves suburban women.

Um, cut that.

That's not me, Clutette.

Hello and welcome to the 530 Politics Podcast. I'm Galen Drick.

It's been almost 14 years since Sarah Paylon

rocketed to one of the best known and most polarizing politicians in the country

as John McCain's running me. Since 2008,

Paylon has teased to come back multiple times. Maybe you should run for president,

maybe for senate. But this year's special house election in Alaska,

following Congressman Don Young's passing, is Paylon's first foray back into electoral politics.

At first blush, you might think a Trump endorsed universally known Republican in a red state

would be a shoe-in. But it's more complicated than that and we're going to explain why today.

We're also going to look at what it's like to be a political outlier in an increasingly

sorted and polarized country. Think Republicans living in cities or Democrats in rural areas.

How do people who just don't fit into their areas political mold experience politics?

And what do the parties have to offer them?

And we've got a good or bad use of polling example. If you've ever heard someone claim

this particular part of the electorate will determine who wins or loses this fall and wonder,

how do they even know that? What does that mean? Well, then this segment is for you.

Here with me to discuss is politics editor Sarah Frostensen. Hey Sarah.

Hey y'all.
