A LOT of people in Alaska do not believe he got a fair trial.
SO, they voted for him, I know of several folks who would vote for “anything but MArk” as Beg-ich is so disliked.
IF Ted loses his appeal for a new trial, I’m sure he will step down and a special election will be heald, in which all of the local (R) egos (as many as 5) will run, spiltting the vote and giving to Mark - this time ‘fair and square’ (in the usual Alaskan stupid party way)
Believe whatever you want. The fact is he’s a convicted felon.
Maybe this is where Palin steps in, exerts some leadership and helps select “the best” candidate to run and ‘help’ the others to know they should step aside. Aside from Young and Palin, is there another Republican candidate who clearly would do very well?
