I've been here since 1975 and Ted Stevens has ALWAYS been the senator. It's just unbelievable that that era might actually be passing. I'm holding my breath. If Mark wins and we can slow Sarah down for even two more years, I think maybe we can take her out of national circulation. Things won't be so easy for her up here now, we've seen a different side of her -- plus -- with the falling oil prices, our revenues will be down and she'll have to contend with serious things like budget shortfalls and such. It's not glamorous, but it's got to be done. If she doesn't deal with it in a convincing way, I think she'll have lost a lot of her luster by 2010.

I don't know if you saw my photos of our "Hold Palin Accountable" rally in September, but if you're interested, they're here. http://www.northernvisions.smugmug.com/gallery/6083679_8Emun#382203710_7RivZ There were about 1800 people there.
