Actually it is a REPUBLICAN controlled legislative branch that rebuffed her.
But nice try.
The senate is controlled by a republican democratic coalition.
With the democrats holding all of the power.
So I have no idea what your talking about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_SenateRepublican split
Shortly after the 2006 November election, a bi-partisan coalition was announced between all nine senate Democrats and six [3] senate Republicans. Democrats chaired the Judiciary, Health, Education, & Social Services, Labor and Commerce, Community and Regional Affairs, and Transportation Committees, as well as co-chair the powerful Finance Committee. The senate Republicans in the coalition also had a co-chair for the Finance Committee (the minority Republicans were given only one seat on the committee), and chair the State Affairs, Resources, and Rules Committees [4].
Because of the Republican split, the Democrats controlled a majority of committee chairmanships while Republicans in the governing coalition chaired the others. In the beginning, the majority leader was a Republican who has joined the bi-partisan coalition, and the minority leader was head of the five-member Republican organization. Hence, all three listed officers of the body were Republicans, as different aspects are in the majority (with the chamber-wide minority Democrats) while others are in the official minority. Later on in the session a Democrat in the coalition took over as majority leader.
The split was largely viewed as over the senate presidency. The minority leader was the Republicans' suspected initial choice for Senate President [5]. The coalition commanded three quarters of the body.
A similar move was made in the 24th Legislature, on the House side. It, however, was torn apart.
