True enough, Alaska has been a bedrock conservative state, but it has been changing somewhat.
Ted Stevens, the senior US Senator from Alaska, he has made of himself an embarrassment for all that are truly conservative Americans. His budgetary earmark antics are going to weigh heavy in senate races beyond Alaska. For the sake of the nation, I would hope he would step aside and allow a more principled conservative take his place.
I know Ted Stevens. He has done a fine job, but he ought to retire. The time comes.
