AK, KS, SD. The media is all doom and gloom but I think we may hold. Even 50/50 would make Biden the tie breaker. Now THAT would drive the RWNJs nuts.

It would be nice for the Democrats to hold this seat since the pundits predicted this would be a turnover.

and was apparently quite impressive at the debate this afternoon at the Alaska Federation of Natives convention. Dan Sullivan has been very Native unfriendly. Assuming they get out to vote, Mark will win.

If real, this is a fantastic comeback. Nothing comes up on this on google. Could this be related to the National Guard scandal that is impacting the Governor race? As AG, one would think he should have been in the loop. (This has been spoken of on Daily Kos, but is it being covered on Alaska media?)

it's only the deep red natural of the state that has kept his carpet-bagger, tax cheat opponent in the race.
