This is the place to talk about Alaska politics -- state, local, national. Public life in the Last Frontier has probably never been more interesting than right now -- the governor as candidate for vice president, the broad and still-evolving corruption investigation, a big election, 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.

Gotta Love it..
Like that 'Ol Tyme religeon.
W got us so wrapped up in all this terrorism sales pitch we kinda forgot all about the FASCISTS.
Maybe depending on election results we can think of Tuesday August 26 as a modern "D-Day."
