GOP surges in Alaska Senate race
The Hill ^ | October 2 2014 | Cameron Joseph

Posted on 10/02/2014 4:51:06 AM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network

The Republican has surged to a lead against Sen. Mark Begich (D) in recent polls in the race that’s likely to be critical to the balance of Senate power. Though the race is expected to remain close, some Democrats are worried that Begich is playing catch-up in a state where it’s tough to make up ground for their party.

At least include his name in the excerpt.

Alaska Senate nominee Dan Sullivan (R) is moving toward conquering the Last Frontier.

Maybe the voters are wising up as they learn of Russian bombers coming close to their airspace.

Why hasn't Mark Begich revealed this to voters?

Campaign Contributions Ensnare BEGICH in IRS’s Missing Emails Scandal
Colorado Observer. ^ | June 19, 2014 | Audrey Hudson / FR Posted 6/21 by george76

...... missing among the IRS’s internal emails are communications with Sens. Mark Udall, Mark Begich, Mary Landrieu, Al Franken, and a dozen other Democrats who received campaign contributions from the federal agency’s union.

Democratic senators who took campaign donations from the IRS union include Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana who received $25,500, Al Franken of Minnesota with $5,000, and Mark Begich of Alaska.

Sullivan has been leading in every poll since he wrapped up nomination. Think this one is in the bag.

Amazingly, the GOP may win their 7 targeted red states.

Alaska, Arkanas and Louisiana looking like strong bets. West Virginia, South Dakota, and Montana in the bag. Just North Carolina the lone gag job.

Then you have potential purple state pickups in Iowa and Colorado. Both looking very good. The longer shot in NH is getting tighter. Scott Brown was tied with Shaheen in two NH polls yesterday.

Of course the mess in Kansas mucks it up. Overall, though, with a month to go, not too bad.

Lusting after women's votes, Democrat Begich's campaign ran a TV ad, “Alaska Women Need To Know”,
targeting opponents for opposing Planned Parenthood and abortion, public funding, and employer
insurance plans that don't cover birth control products.

Mmmmmmm......so typical.....the last refuge of a scoundrel....a woman's vagina.

Alaskan women need to ask themselves:

"Would you want Mark Begich in your vagina?"

Begich was never in any danger of getting a second term, as his first was a fraud/fluke predicated on a deliberately false indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens. Same thing was done in MT to Sen. Conrad Burns, another innocent victim of a leftist “Just-Us” Department (even under Dubya, as both actions occurred under). Both secured the Dems (and Zero) the right number of Senators to push through his radical first-term agenda (ZeroCare).

Yeah.... and the news that the Russians discovered a big oil reserve in the arctic ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3208671/posts )

and remember about the 7 Arctic islands Obama gave to the Russians ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2889905/posts ).

This is an election in an increasingly corrupt electoral process. Nothing is in the bag... ever.

Man... that face speaks “weirdness.”

Alaskans should be asked... “would you want Mark Begich around your daughters?”

Begich’s father is the one who was killed in the fall 1972 plane crash with Hale Boggs. Boggs’s son died last month of a heart attack.
