This is the place to talk about Alaska politics -- state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier may never have been more interesting than right now -- the broad and still-evolving corruption investigation, a big election, a popular governor, powerful members of Congress under scrutiny, and the usual hardball Alaska politics. Come here for news, tidbits and information, and join the discussion. Keep your comments civil and on point. Avoid personal attacks. Do not use profanity. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned.

More Tomfoolery by the Democratic party
The leadership of the Democratic Party are promoting their crooked actors against honest candidates in their US House and US Senate races. The party should not favor and financially support one candidate over another in the primary. That's the job of the voters. I support many Democratic candidates, but I do NOT support the unethical and corrupt acts of the Democratic Party. I hope that Alaskans recognize the gamemanship of the Democratic Party and support the two ethical candidates running: Ray Metcalfe and Diane Benson. It makes no sense to elect more corrupt politicians to replace the corrupt ones we're preparing to toss out of office.
