I believe Palin killed the presidential election for the Republicians. While she probably pushed Miller into the running here, I believe Murkowski has a strong enough prescense that they will be splitting the votes again. We need to keep her around :) Governator@idkfa.com (Governator) Machiavellian Cocktail Tue, 21 Sep 2010 13:53:48 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=647 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=490 I almost didn't go vote in the primary because I was home sick that day. I'm SO glad I did, though, because otherwise I'd be kicking myself for not contributing my two cents. I'm really hoping Murkowski's supporters woke up after the primary and will come out in full force to support her in the election. It sounds like she's still weighing her options on the best way to get on the ballot, or to have a write-in campaign. norwaygirl@idkfa.com (norwaygirl) Machiavellian Cocktail Wed, 08 Sep 2010 13:01:33 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=490 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=488 That was how I felt too. I actually am kicking myself for not having voted on the republican ticket just so I could vote for her. I just did not think it would ever be that close of a race. I didn't think there was anything to worry about. WOW was I wrong. I also wonder if anyone in Alaska has read the things about his history. He says he was the youngest magistrate or whatever the hell he was, but he was actually kicked out of that job. He has gotten into quite a few mishaps in his career just by being a raging idiot. How is this going to be any different? Do Alaskans really truly think that getting the federal government completely out of Alaska is going to be a GOOD thing!? (Don't get me wrong... I think there has to be a limit to government growth also...) There is a reason why Alaska wasn't hit as soon or as hard by the economic downturn as the rest of the country.

Even though I've gotten drunk with the dem nominee before, I'd totally back Lisa over him. Sure, he's a great guy, and completely ridiculous when he's plastered, but I'd much rather have Lisa in office, out of all the choices in front of us. kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Machiavellian Cocktail Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:35:03 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=480 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=446 Yeah, don't make no goddamn sense. The NPR article about how Alaksa is a political parallel anti-universe is more than justified, I figure.

All the people have to do is get jobs and work right? I didn't really listen to the guys rationalle on how that works but I imagine it was something simple like that.

Are we really that stupid, to vote for a guy who believes pushing the federal government out of a state where the MAJORITY of the workforce is employed by the federal government will actually create jobs for Alaskans? semblance@idkfa.com (semblance) Machiavellian Cocktail Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:51:46 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=437&msg_id=437
