Alaska Politics Blog : Wall to wall

Alaska Politics Blog

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.

Alaska political corruption

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.

From David Hulen in Anchorage --

A week and a day to the primary, and it's hard to turn on a television without seeing campaign commercials -- sometimes back to back from the same race.

Some of the what's out there:

Don Young ad - "I think Don Young is just too effective."

Sean Parnell, with Palin endorsement.

There's more after the jump.

Gabrielle LeDoux - "...They wanted Gabrielle LeDoux to go along. She said no. Hell no."

Club for Growth attack ad on Young that began running last week.

One of Ted Stevens' new "Without Ted, we're toast" spots. There are at least three variations.

Mark Begich: clean up politics by sending politicans through the car wash. These started earlier in the summer, but have been running again latelty.

Vic Vickers - "Take back Alaska."

Dave Cuddy - "The only Republican who can win in November."

Ray Metcalfe - "Come and listen to a story about a man named Ray..." There's a version of this on the radio, the video version is online.

Diane Benson - "As a woman truck driver on the line, I learned to speak my mind..."

Ethan Berkowitz - "...That's why I stood up to powerful special interests..."

Know of others? E-mail me.
