By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

MINNEAPOLIS -Ralph Munro, the former long-serving Secretary of State in Washington, gave the delegation another angle from which to look at Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy this morning: the Alaska natural gas pipeline.

Earlier this summer, Palin signed a bill giving the TransCanadaCorp license to build a $26 billion pipeline to transfer natural gas from Alaska's Northern Slope to the lower 48 states.
