In reply to admin. Thank you, and I assume South Dakota is leaning even more red.

This story totally is the reason we are seeing the large amounts of Democratic campaign cash flowing into the state in an unprecedented manner.

I suggest that unless you donate millions to a super Pac you have no practical influence over a national political agenda and those who foment those agendas could care less about you. Despite my not particularly liking Begich, why shouldn’t I vote for him? Residing in a state with such a low population, aren’t my interests best protected by having both a Democrat and Republican US Senator?
Seniority is everything in the US Senate. Regardless of claims to “fight for Alaskans”, a junior United States Senator will sit when told to sit and speak only when told to speak or he or she will find themselves regulated to political limbo. Votes against the interests of Alaska are allowed only if the national party agenda is not threatened.
Also on that map, what do ‘OK special’, SC special” and the red stripes on South Dakota mean?

We Alaskans have our work cut out for us but this is our moment. We know how bad President Obama has been for Alaska and for the nation. Do we let him have his way by keeping the Senate under Harry Reid or do we work to force President Obama to deal in the Senate with the party not his own? Do we want the Obama legacy to be confined to ObamaCare or do we want to live with federal judges appointed by Obama for the next generation? What would Ted Stevens have us do?
