Let's compare:
How do Republicans tolerate corruption? See AK-AL
How do Democrats tolerate corruption? See LA-02
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.
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.
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.
