Alaska’s Republican Gov. Sarah Palin wants Ben Stevens to give up his seat as the national committeeman for the Alaska Republican Party now that former Veco CEO Bill Allen testified to bribing Stevens while he was state Senate president.

Palin probably won’t get her way since there is no mechanism to remove him, though, (ouch), Alaska Republican Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich said:

“[Stevens] will serve through the March 20008 convention. We look forward to electing a new committee man at that time,” Ruedrich said.
