Sounds good to me. I’ve read about Loren Leman, and he’s excellent on the issues.

Here’s an old web site of his, I think you’ll like what you read:

You never seem to ping me to these primary race threads anymore. ;-)

I read somewhere that Stevens/Murkowski/Young trio was the longest serving state delegation to Congress, until Frank got promoted to Governor and used the opportunity to appoint daddy's girl to his seat (so basically it's still "Stevens/Murkowski/Young" representing Washington today)

I agree with what ClintonFatigued said that the ideal situtation is that Stevens & Young retire. That being said, since Alaska is relatively safe GOP, spending time and money to defeat them in a primary is doable.

Unlike you, I tend you agree with the American Conservative Union that an incumbant who votes conservative at least 80% of the time is acceptable and not my enemy. Stevens & Young don't make the cut. Ol' Pork Barrel Ted has a pathetic 64.5% ACU rating, which means he'd probably be borderline "failure" is conservative voting records were like college term papers. He's to the left of pro-abortion little Lisa. Young is better, he score a 76.9%. While I'd probably vote for him in the general election, we can do better in the primary. And aside from their ACU ratings, Stevens & Young seem old and tired and content to just insert pork into congressional bills all day. We could use dynamic conservative personalities to represent Alaska.

Palin/Binkley/Leman is the new generation of Alaska Republicanism. Stevens/Murkowski/Young is a relic of a past era.
