“Every day, it seems right after the primary, I could count on belly-laughs while reading the newspaper about the latest developments in the candidate’s lies. He tanked so much that, think about it, in the second-most Republican state in the union, the winner of the August primary gets fewer votes than the write-in candidate he’d already defeated back in August. Enjoy it now, folks, because in the history of wacky Alaska politics, you’ll never see anything like this again.”

--Geoff Kennedy, Anchorage, Alaska, November, 1998.
