I'm not a libertarian. Open borders is absurd.

I'm an individual.

I vote for the party which will harm me least.
Only democrat besides local officials I ever voted for was Paul Tsongas for senate.
He was a good person and a man. Somewhat misguided, but only somewhat. If he had gotten the nomination(and didn't die)against Bush the first, I might have voted for him for president. Might have.

I give a lot of money to pubs across the country.

Locally there is no hope for pubbies.

In Alaska we find Sen Murkowski presenting a Bill to speed up transfer of land entitlements from the Feds to the State and native Corporations per prior agreements. It's a lot of acreage, bigger than many States. This is very strong and very Conservative. Looks good for Murkowski, who will be up for election with probably former Gov Knowles as opponent.
