Here’s the latest set of numbers, including (unlike other recent polls) the actual question asked.  The last nonsense poll in which the question was not even revealed had Lisa Murkowski eleven points ahead. Riiiight.  These numbers are much more believable and taken from a much larger sample. The polling was done by PPP. It should [...]

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren is in Alaska, and took a few minutes to talk to Mayor Scott McAdams about his candidacy, and the senate race in Alaska. Enjoy! I’ll have more about the candidate forum at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce soon.

Love this one from Jamie Smith! While Murkowski and Miller sling the mud, there is at least one adult in the room. Scott McAdams got a signed copy of this great cartoon from the artist while he was in Fairbanks. And just in case you still need a reminder of why this election is so [...]

Carpetbagger – n. “A politician who runs for office in an area where he or she doesn’t have deep community ties.” outsider; especially : a nonresident or new resident [...]

~Protest of Anchorage’s Equal Rights Ordinance in the “Summer of Hate” [Editor's Note] Mudflats readers will remember Pastor Jerry Prevo of the Anchorage Baptist Temple as the de facto leader of the “Red Shirts” who overwhelmed the testimony at the Anchorage Assembly during the infamous “Summer of Hate” when Ordinance 64 was before the Assembly.  [...]

Do you love this guy, or what? I don’t know who he is, but this brave and wise soul gets the Mudflats gold star. Everyone all together (clap clap clap)! And a big hat tip to Mudflatter C.C., who parked his car, and made three highway crossings on foot to shake this guy’s hand and [...]

In any election, it’s all about the numbers. Want to know why it’s impossible for Lisa Murkowski to win? Here you go. It’s written in chalk, even. No matter how afraid people are of Joe Miller, Murkowski CANNOT win. Period. And Scott McAdams can. Here’s a little peek into the past – an ad for [...]

~Scott McAdams at the Alaska State Fair Yup, today is Scott McAdams’ 40th birthday on 10-10-10, and we’ve got a surprise planned – a little money bomb!
