We've probably been down this road a few times before, but since I have been away -- what's the Atlas CW on this?

Alaska is the sleeper of the cycle. Here's how the Democrats can pick-up a U.S Senate seat in Alaska: 1a. Nominate Mike Gravel. 1b. Nominate Anyone But Hillary and run Bill Ritter as the Vp. 2. Convince Mark Begich to run. 3. Pray that Uncle Ted wins the GOP primary. 4. Pray that the GOP nominee is Mike Huckabee (let's see how well a theocrat performs with libertarian-leaning voters!). 5. Hope VECO becomes an even bigger scandal.

If everything falls into place, a Democrat not named Tony Knowles may finally win something important in Alaska.

Yep, I couldn't agree more.  Except with the Mike Gravel thing.  If Alaskans are sick and tired of rank corruption, and if Stevens survives the primary, a reasonable Democrat could win.  Don Young could also be going down.
