Begich was a fluke based on Justice Dept. fraud of the Alaskan voters. I expect this embarrassment to be rectified in November.
Just as a curiosity, and in what will likely cause enormous confusion, Lt Gov.-presumptive Dan Sullivan might challenge Murkowski in the GOP primary in 2016, and we could have two Senator Dan Sullivans from the same state with no relation.
He might? That’s awesome, witch needs to go.
At least one of them needs to start using their middle name or at least initial.
The guy running for the Senate is Daniel Scott Sullivan.
The Anchorage Mayor running for LT Governor is Daniel A. Sullivan.
Or, one of them can be “Danny”.
Or “Dan Sullivan the younger/elder”, the mayor has 13 years of the other one.
That would be hilarious for the person who does the roll call in the Senate. “Mr. Sullivan of Alaska.” Um, which one? “Mr. Dan Sullivan of Alaska.” Again, which one? They’ll have to go to middle initials!

Interesting possibility, but let’s not count our chickens before they hatch. Begich is running a good campaign and is creating the illusion of independence and distance from Obama. A nasty Republican primary hasn’t helped matters any, either. I think this race could go either way.
