with an asterisk.  (Probably to the 1996 election article, though she also is mentioned in the 2004 election article.)  My impression from her preferred version of the article is that she has ceased her very public "campaign", and I am not talking about a campaign for office, but the combination of election campaigns and other public efforts to gain redress for her husband's difficulties in being admitted to the Alaska bar.  (Which may have finally been resolved one way or the other; that's not clear.)  I do not view this as a direct candidate for  because she is not a "non-public figure" -- as I note above, it's tough to be a non-public figure when you've run in eight elections -- but more like sort of a version of Wikipedia's "right to vanish" (which directly applies to editors, not articles).  In other words, ok, fine, redirect the article so it's not "live" (but remains preserved in the history), and if she doesn't run for office again and doesn't otherwise intentionally put herself in the newspapers again, it stays that way.  But if she "comes back", then someone can bring back the article too, simply by reverting the redirect and adding the "latest" to the article.  Is there already a three-letter acronym for that, or did I just make it up
