Most of you probably went to bed wondering: Will Mitt win Alaska?

Or not.

Anyway, he did.

Imagine Ted Kennedy screaming: “ESS-SKEE-MO-POW-WER!”

Thanks for posting this.

At least Alaska has fresh air for people to breath. They have clear mind to think

Mitt’s had to compete with an unlevel playing field - 2 against 1 - and yet he still managed to win a few states.

Besdies Huck and McCain ganging up on him, he’s had the MSM’s prejudices to battle as well. All things considered he’s done quite well. Just not well enough :-(

[ruination]

Romney trounced McCain by at least 2:1 in four different states today (AK, CO, WV, UT), but the converse only happened in one (AL).

[Yosemitest]

Well ... it ain't all bad.

If Romney backs out or loses, ... I guess I'll vote for a Democrat.

[GVnana]

Do you think Romney’s support for drilling in Anwar put him over the top?

[jan in Colorado]

Thanks Checkers. I’m still awake, but I shouldn’t be!

Good night.

[GVnana]

Love the bumper sticker, but I won’t be voting for “that woman.”

[Yosemitest]

Aren't you the intelligent one! Most everyone else, thought he was talking about Monica.

But, we'll get more conservatives in the House and Senate with "that woman" in the White House, instead of McCain.

My laugh of the night. Juan McAtzlan lost to the certifiable nutcase RuPaul.

Ron Paul 1,896 17%
John McCain 1,767 16%

Yeah. I've heard that before. Trouble is, bruised egos and defeated ambitions don't make for effective strategies.

I don't like giving Democrats the rosy glow of victory.

I don’t see Alaska being too fired up in this one. Beautiful state but they view themselves as a separate country. Still Ted Stevens brings home the pork and he’s #1 on R’s I’d like to see replaced.

I love setting up Democrats like clay pigeons.

Give credit where credit's due.

Rep Don Young has bragged that the bill is "stuffed like a turkey" with high-dollar projects earmarked for his home state, totaling $721 million. In fact, Young is so fond of the bill that he named it TEA-LU, after his wife, Lu.

And this asswipe has been reelected to congress by the people of Alaska for 34 years.
