I expect Sean Parnell to go into the private sector. Mead Treadwell may run for Don Young’s seat, he would do a fine job there. You’re right, Joe Miller has gained back a lot of the public’s confidence but I wonder what his intentions are – primary Lisa? Beating her will be a very tall order.

My belief is that Joe Miller redeemed himself as a candidate this year; first by coming in second in the 3-way race, second by not saying anything stupid and in fact winning his debates, and third, by following through and helping Afghan Dan after the primary. If in fact Joe Miller sometimes said something crazy (and using nasty language destroys credibility in any event) he is no longer so inclined. I look for Joe Miller to run for office in 2 years, and if Governor Parnell is unable to pull ahead and win this ongoing race I expect Sean Parnell to also be a candidate for office in 2 years. I would not be surprised to see one run for our one seat in the US Congress and the other to run for the US Senate. Apparently only Republicans believe that Alaska primaries matter.

The ACS story in the AK Dispatch is simply an example of what seems to be dominating the paper since Alice Rogoff’s asquisition – – bad reporting and worst editing. Who would have thought the Daily News could ever be a lesser paper? For the McClatchey chain it was respectable for Rogoff to change the name at least. It simply sucks to use a technical term. Never a retraction, never an apology. Stupid and slanted reporting is the norm. Is this what we should expect? Will Rogoff commit to getting some quality leadership, management and an editor or will we be forced to live with this example of striving for mediocrity? Useless.
