~Tom Begich, statistical guru and number cruncher extraordinaire explains why Lisa Murkowski cannot win. He’s like Glenn Beck only good, and like Johnny Depp. ~Shannyn Moore welcomes Democratic candidate for Senate Scott McAdams. You’re all in for a treat when you watch the show. It airs statewide in Alaska on KYES Channel 5 Saturday afternoon [...]

Joe Miller – Fiscal conservative, budget balancer, not liverer beyond his means…. and… (wait for it)… buried under mounds of credit card debt, and running a campaign more than $100,000 beyond his means? Apparently so. Miller, who was supposed to have filed his financial disclosure paperwork for his run for Senate back in April, has [...]

Matt Felling of KTVA-11 News had the dubious honor of sitting down with the Congressman for All Alaskans (who voted for him) and chatted about the Constitution and its 17… er… 27 amendments, Joe Miller, and the infamous Coconut Road scandal. MTF: You’re talking about constitutionality and earmarks. Yesterday, the Republican Senate contender for Alaska, [...]

By Vince Beltrami President of Alaska AFL-CIO Watching the Channel 2 News at 6 pm Friday night, I caught the coverage of Mayor Sullivan rolling out his “See, I’m a budget-cutting conservative mayor, even if the citizens don’t want this” 2011 budget plan. But what caught my attention most was the exchange between Assemblyman Mike [...]

Tonight’s taping of Moore Up North with Shannyn Moore is a must-attend event. Democratic candidate for Senate, Mayor Scott McAdams will be Shannyn’s guest for the full hour, and will be taking your questions. The taping begins at 5:30 at the Taproot on Spenard Road (the old Fly By Night Club). If you’re one of [...]

Tsk, tsk, tsk….has Joe Miller paid NO attention to the scribblings of the Legal Eagle? I suppose that he’s a bit too busy angering the Palins by refusing to state that Ms. Palin is qualified to be President to do something like learn about the law. As I am sure all of you good Mudpuppies [...]

OK, if the first sentence of your political ad has to be, “I am not a witch,” there’s a problem. Just saying. And just for the record, Christine O’Donnell is not me. Did anyone else think of this?

~Sarah Palin addresses the Conservative Patriots Group rally in Wasilla, Alaska on 9/11/10 by Jeanne Devon It has long been speculated that former Alaska governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin would mount a bid for the White House in 2012. So far, Palin has avoided directly answering questions about her intent. However, internal emails [...]

By Linda Kellen Biegel Sarah Palin’s accusations regarding the “Liberal, Lamestream Media” being “out to get her” are no secret, especially after publication of her first work of fiction, “Going Rogue.” However, there is a less-published (by credible sources) accusation that goes like this: There is a so-called “Alaska Mafia” of Democrats who take orders [...]

Why is this local [...]

I love this ad – even the invocation of Ted Stevens at the end… It’s respectful, and even though it’s obvious that McAdams is a Democrat, it’s a recognition of someone who worked hard for the state. What do you think? This from the McAdams campaign: In the ad McAdams identifies priority issues for his [...]
