Is a 2011 Senate coalition on energy starting to take shape?

Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) said he called Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) late last week after learning that the South Carolina Republican wants to be a player again on energy in the next Congress.

The freshman Begich says he, too, wants to be in the thick of talks aimed at crafting a long-term U.S. energy policy – a politically tricky and elusive task.

“That is what I am going to be pushing hard for,” Begich said in the Capitol Monday. “I will continue reach over the aisle with other Republicans who are interested also, as Lindsey Graham has indicated he is, and figure out where there is some opportunity.”

When do the people of Alaska get a chance to fire Begich? Do we have to endure 4 more years of that chump in office?

The “Alaskans Standing Together” coalition of dems, natives, media and republican socialists who put murkowski in office might pull together for begich. I thought he would be toast in 2014 until I saw this cabal work their dirt on Joe Miller. I need to change my tagline to “ ex Alaskan republican”
