Begich is trying to win reelection in Alaska. He’ll have no trouble making out with Markey behind closed doors.
Speaking of our good pal, Mark Begich, I recently visited an exploratory website for Mead Treadwell, the Lt. Governor who is considering a run against Begich. I think he might have a good shot, and he’s as conservative as we’ll find unless Joe Miller or Sarah Palin decide to give it a shot. Begich is a weasel, elected on a fluke. His seat would add nicely toward our goal of six.
