Has Alaska received more attention than ever before in the past two years?

Definitely.

Non politically, you have also had Ice Road Truckers, Tougher in Alaska and The Deadliest Catch. 

There you go. Those too.

Plus the hot Senate race, as well as Ted Stevens.

Not in a good way. It's kind of seen as the laughingstock of the country now.

What's your basis for saying that?

19th in unemployment (7.9%).  Positive changes in real GDP (+3.5%).  Seems to be doing pretty decent to me.

Texas v. White says otherwise.

We're talking in terms of the attention that it is getting now which is not for that. It is for Sarah Palin who is seen as a joke. And people like Ted Stevens, Don Young and Joe Miller aren't exactly great faces to put on your state either.

Palin left a while ago... I don't think people really connect her to Alaska as much anymore.

And, for what it's worth, Stevens conviction was voided.

OJ was found not guilty because of prosecutorial incompetence.  This was an extreme case of prosecutorial misconduct.
