Yesterday, things just got a little bit better for Democrats in the state of Alaska. Instead of selecting a new and untarnished candidate in their primary, Alaska Republicans again chose their ethically-challenged current senator -- Ted Stevens. In a seven-person field of candidates, the 84 year-old senator who is currently under indictment on federal charges, pulled down over 63% of the Republican vote in the primary.
This is great news for the Democrats. They have a capable and very popular candidate to run against Stevens. Alaska Democrats have chosen Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich as their candidate.
A year ago, I don't think anyone would have given the Democrats much chance of winning the senate race in Alaska. Today, it looks like they have a very good chance of doing that.
