Listen to me Alex, the Stevens, the Youngs and the Murkowskis are all in the same group of corrupt Alaska Republicans who all at one time or another have earmarked money to either relatives or friends, or made questionable land deals. You Should hope Sarah Palin runs or Loren Leman runs, but not one of that corrupt clique. The reason the charges were dropped was the Prosecutors f**ked up what should have been an open and shut case. He is definately Guilty.

(My Alaskan friend loves Ted Stevents a.k.a. Uncle Ted) Young got 45% and only won cause of a split in the Anti-Young Vote. Now cause PAlin is gone PArnell will probably run for Governor in 2010 and thus Speaker John Harris will run and defeat that bastard Young, who in 2005 when he was chairmen of a committee, he modified a bill AFTER IT WAS PASSED. That just so happen to benefit people who were his donars who live in FLORIDA. How is that helping Alaskan's. Young only survived cause he has greased the NAtive Tribes among whom he surprisingly out performed McCAin/PAlin. Young actually underperformed significanty especially the ares that vote for and trended towards McCain/Palin like Wasila for one. Stevens is 85 years old and you want a guy that old to challenged an incumbent who is half his age, has a 60% approval rating, and is a moderate. STevens isn't going to win the Conservative vote in a PRimary. If anything he will split Murkowski's base allowing a much more conservative and thankfully more ethical candidate to win.
