To the victor goes the Alaskan king salmon
- and a little good-natured trash talk.

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford thanked his Alaskan
counterpart, Gov. Sarah Palin, for fulfilling her part of a bet the
two Republicans had on the recently concluded East Coast Hockey
League finals.

The South Carolina Stingrays defeated the Alaska Aces, meaning
Palin had to deliver her state's famed fish to Sanford. Both are
rumored to be seeking the party's presidential nomination in 2012

Sanford sent Palin what he called a consolation prize-sized
portion of shrimp, grits and She-Crab soup from a Charleston
restaurant. Sanford said he hoped his gift would help console Palin
through the long months regretting the Aces' defeat.
