Here’s the latest commercial for Harry Crawford, the Democratic candidate for Congress. We’ve had Don Young (Congressman for everyone who voted for him) for NINETEEN terms. I, for one, think that’s quite enough. Harry Crawford is experienced, tough, honest, and hard-working. He’s been an effective legislator as a Democrat in a relatively conservative district, and [...]

Does Yale Law School have a course entitled Makin’ Stuff Up?  If they did, I bet Joe Miller aced it with his eyes closed. Seems Lawyer Joe is forcing me to dust off my pile of previously used graphics. AHA!  I found it.  The Sarah Palin flaming pants rise again, like a phoenix from their [...]

You hear an awful lot from the Joe Miller campaign about Lisa Murkowski being “entitled” and acting like she’s owed the senate seat. It seems to bug them.  And it bugs a lot of Alaskans. These Tweets from Joe Miller were captured by a Murkowski supporter before Miller deleted them. Apparently, someone else had to [...]

By Anchorage Assembly Member Elvi Gray-Jackson I was very honored and proud to participate with Anchorage Firefighters during their 30th “Fill the Boot” Muscular Dystrophy Association of Alaska (MDA) fundraising event this past Labor Day Weekend. On Friday afternoon, at the Lake Otis and Tudor intersection, lots of generous Alaskans driving by waved us over [...]

Alright everyone, put on some protective eyewear, because it’s time to play “Peel the Political Onion!” A new Alaska poll from Craciun Research is out, and the numbers look… I believe the technical statistical term is “wacky.”  So let’s start peeling and see what we find. Here’s the way it falls out: Lisa Murkowski 41% [...]

Those inquisitive little devils over at Think Progress have just come in with this. Sarah Palin-backed Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller (R-AK), who defeated incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) in the primary in August, skyrocketed to power partially by demanding more transparency and ethics in Washington. In his 12-point campaign promise, Miller says he will [...]

Interesting. Rep. Alan Grayson has been getting a good deal of traction with his latest ad calling his opponent “Taliban Dan” and drawing attention to his extremist view that a woman who is raped should be forced to carry that pregnancy to term. Lately, there have been hands-on-heart, wide-eyed, gaspy questions of “how can you [...]

Lately, a lot of Alaskans have been in an uproar over Joe Miller fudging his finances in order to obtain indigent hunting and fishing permits for himself and his wife in 1995. Of course, your Legal Eagle is also upset that Joe the moose-poaching divorce lawyer either flat-out lied about his income to get a [...]

An interesting revelation tonight from Sean Cockerham at the Anchorage Daily News: After he first came to Alaska, purchased a home in South Anchorage and started work as an attorney for a prominent local firm, Senate candidate Joe Miller and his wife obtained resident low-income hunting and fishing licenses that require a family annual income [...]

In the spring of 2009, a smiling Ted Stevens surrounded by his equally smiling daughters graced the front page of the Anchorage Daily News. A federal judge had set aside a jury’s guilty verdict and the indictment against former Sen. Ted Stevens, then announced he was appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the government attorneys in the [...]

I know I sound a little harsh, and I’m generally not one that likes to take peoples hopes and dreams and dash them on the rocks, but allow me to do that this once.  Know though, if you’re a Murkowski supporter, you may love me again by the end, so stay with me. Lisa Murkowski [...]
