Alaska, South Carolina governors bet king salmon and grits for minor league hockey finals
Alaska's Sarah Palin and South Carolina's Mark Sanford are already squaring off — and the presidential election is still three years away.
The two Republican governors, rumored to have aspirations for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, have a bet on the ECHL's Kelly Cup finals between the Alaska Aces and South Carolina Stingrays.
Should the Aces win the best-of-seven series, Alaska's most famous "hockey mom" would receive shrimp and grits and she-crab soup from Tristan Restaurant in Charleston.
If the Stingrays win, Sanford would get some Alaska king salmon.
Palin was so confident in her team, she called the wager a no-brainer.
The series is scheduled to begin Friday night in Alaska.
