By: THE FALLOUT UP NORTH...Now that Palin's on the McCain ticket, the already interesting-bordering-on-absurd House and Senate races in Alaska are going to become more so. This year, the seats belonging to Rep. Don Young (who's been in office for 35 years) and Sen. Ted Stevens (40) are in play for Democrats for the first time in decades. Young and his primary challenger, Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell, are currently awaiting a ballot recount in the narrowly contested Republican primary--if Young wins, he stands a better chance than Parnell of losing to the Democratic challenger, Ethan Berkowitz. Stevens, meanwhile, is trailing his Democratic challenger Mark Begich, and is due in federal court in late September on corruption charges. Palin's VP nod makes all of this even more interesting. There was talk of her taking Stevens's place on the Republican ticket in the general election if Stevens is found guilty, and it's probable she would have beaten Begich--so this is good news for Democrats in the Senate. Parnell, meanwhile, would presumably take over as governor if McCain/Palin wins. —Charles Homans 1:11 PM Permalink | Trackbacks | Comments (10)Comments
Wow, was this pick an admission that McCain cannot win the national election, and instead is designed to secure two close House and Senate races? Posted by: doubtful on August 29, 2008 at 1:56 PM | PERMALINKMcCain IS the Manchurian candidate! For the Democrats! LOL Posted by: citizen_pain on August 29, 2008 at 2:43 PM | PERMALINKIf it wasn't going to be Mitt, why not Palin? First of all, Great, Strong, Confident Pick by J-Mac. This shows that J-Mac is "in it to win it." We are already seeing a surge in support from Hillarylanders. The as everyone knows, when done properly, a surge leads to VICTORY! Thank You Posted by: McCain Blog Outreach Coordinator on August 29, 2008 at 2:50 PM | PERMALINKExactly how are "we" seeing a surge of Hillraylanders? Posted by: Kenji on August 29, 2008 at 2:56 PM | PERMALINKKenji Quite Simple. Hillarylanders want to be on the winning side. They prefer a candidate ready on Day One. Thus they will prefer John McCain or J-Mac as the kids call him. Thank You for you interest in John McCain Posted by: McCain Blog Outreach Coordinator on August 29, 2008 at 3:28 PM | PERMALINKAre you trying to say that what is good for Alaska is not good for the country? I agree. For the country, we need Better than good, and neither she nor McSHAME qualify for that level. Anyone who watched last night acceptance speech, has an open mind and a brain, last night saw SPECIAL, and the common sense we need in our President.
