No question he earned a fair amount of scorn. The definition of fair is always in the eye of the beholder.

Heh heh heh heh heh heh....... That's what I like to call "Randy Marsh in real life." ;D I don't know what they're worried about though. I'm sure their wages are just being spread around. It's better for everybody that way.  |

There's about 52K left to count. 17K today and 35K more by Friday. Also, Young is pretty much going to win this one over Berkowitz in the House race, as he's still up 15K votes www.adn.com/elections/story/586989.html |

Begich is up 814 votes on Stevens with 40K left to count. Young is up 15K votes on Berkowitz for the House seat with the same remaining. www.adn.com/elections/senate/story/587414.htmlMy favorite part about the article? The reporter went back to the pollsters that had Begich winning by 15-20 percentage points and Berkowitz winning by double digits. |

Is it really the pollsters fault when the turnout in Alaska defied all logic? Turnout was down from 2004 even though Governor Palin was on the Presidential ballot and a Senate seat was up for grabs, and almost half the voters voted for a convicted felon.

With the 90k extra votes added in, AK turnout surpassed 2004 levels this year and set an alltime high. And the pollsters weren't just a few points off-they were 10-20% off in both the House and Senate races. They weren't even close. |

With the 90k extra votes added in, AK turnout surpassed 2004 levels this year. Any info on population changes in the state over that period? We all know that Ohio, among other states, had a lot more people ... or at least a lot more new registered voters. |
