This is the place to talk about Alaska politics, state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier has rarely been more interesting -- a full slate of federal and state elections, the influence of former Gov. Sarah Palin, the usual hardball Alaska politics. Come here for news, tidbits and information, and join the discussion. We encourage lively debate, but please keep it civil and stay on point. Don't use profanity, make crude comments or attack other posters. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted. Repeat offenders will lose their ability to post comments.

When the FBI raided state legislature offices in Aug. 2006, it publicly launched an investigation that ultimately reached the highest levels of Alaska politics, and continues to this day.
David Letterman had more to say about the controversy over his Palin remarks than was reported in that transcript yesterday. He spent eight minutes on it last night:
Palin supporters, including those at Team Sarah and Conservatives4Palin, are urging people to complain to CBS, Letterman advertisers, the FCC and the Anchorage CBS affiliate. Some are calling for Letterman's job.
Meanwhile, Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton posted this today on the governor's Facebook page:
The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away from David Letterman.
Update, 4 p.m. Thursday: Sen. John McCain has now weighed in on this -- in support of Palin.
"I don't understand why Letterman would say that about a young woman," he said.
