Let's compare:

How do Republicans tolerate corruption? See AK-AL
How do Democrats tolerate corruption? See LA-02

Don Young hasn't been indicted of anything yet.  Jefferson has been.  Ted Stevens was not reelected in Alaska.

If you want to compare apples to apples you should compare AK Senate to LA-02. Young is in the same group as John Murtha and Paul Kanjorski both Dems and both reelected. So get off your high horse Mr. Holier Then Though, BRTD

Don Young is not in the same group as Stevens and Jefferson, however that Coconut Road crap in Florida far outpaces anything Kanjorski did, or that Murtha has done since Abscam (when it would have made sense to vote him out.) Young is not only corrupt, he has absolutely no respect for the constitutional lawmaking process and is an abrasive jerk.

There are a lot of corrupt/convicted/indicted/whatever congressmen out there, and I'm glad we're getting some out. It's true that even if someone has charges against him, he's not automatically guilty, but it still looks bad.

I wouldn't be able to vote for one, no matter what letter is beside his name.

Young is an abrasive, corrupt, jerk thats why I was praying the either Parnell or Berkowitz would defeat him. We will get rid of him in 2010 one way or another.

I am not so sure Alaska will get rid of him in 2010, but we can hope.
