Former governor Tony Knowles (D) has increased his lead over Lisa Murkowski (R) in the race for the Alaska Senate seat. Knowles is now ahead by 6%. Ms. Murkowski, as you may recall, was appointed to the Senate by her dad, the governor.
Republican family values at their finest.

1. We need the seat

Hope he wins.

2. Excellent

A critical pickup. Knowles could maintain that seat in an unlikely state for several terms.

If there are debates, I hope C-SPAN airs them.

3. Knowles is running smart

he's running a surprisngly liberal campaign, anti-Patriot Act, and anti-Corporate greed. He's conservative on Guns and wants to open ANWR, but hey, he's from Alaska.
