What’s the Matter With Alaska?

Speaking of new cold wars, doesn’t somebody need to figure this out? Common sense says that convicted felons and so forth don’t win re-election. I guess folks up there are really pissed that those of us in the Lower 48 have been making fun of Sarah Palin.

Given the views of Alaskans, one doesn’t expect either its House or Senate seats to be fertile ground for progressive politics, but one would hope at least that the Alaska GOP would be forced to swap out corrupt incumbent conservatives in favor of fresh, new, less-corrupt ones in order to hang on to the seats.
