It’s no secret that Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK) is in trouble. He votes with the president too often for many Alaskans’ liking, he’s too absent in Congress, and the Democratic candidate for governor has even declined to endorse him.
Politico’s Amanda Coyne, however, apparently thinks Begich’s opponent, Dan Sullivan, is more fun to criticize. Among her jabs: Sullivan’s speeches are too predictable, he has only lived in Alaska for 12 years, and he doesn’t know when to pause during speeches. For shame!
Coyne saved a bit of mockery for the “Rally for the Valley” held near former Governor Sarah Palin’s house in the Matanuska Valley, home to a large chunk of the state’s conservatives. Here's how she described that crowd:
There’s the scruffy guy who sees Muslim terrorists everywhere, the frazzled woman who dreams in prophesy, the mayoral candidate who recently got ratted out to Homeland Security for his weird talk of guns, anarchy and riots in movie theaters. The camo-clad hunters just in from a moose kill.
Coyne explained what this group’s votes could mean, not just for Alaska, but for the whole country:
Considering that races in Alaska are sometimes won by single-digit votes—and that Sen. Mark Begich won by about 4,000 votes against Sen. Ted Stevens in 2008—that’s a coveted block.

I read that piece today. It’s actually written by the Amanda blogger up in Alaska, famous for harassing Palin for her emails. She was also the blogger who recently “broke “ the story about the “Palin family brawl.” This is what Politico has become. A rabid leftist covering the Alaska senate race.
What Politico has become?? They started as being in the tank for Democrats.
Politico was started by Hilary’s coven. They are getting revved up for2016, Godhepus.
What politico has become? Don’t you know thar politico is the Washington Post?
Well judging by the latest polling, the Democrats are heading for the showers then.
