Montana Senator Tester defeated Republican doofus Conrad Burns in 2006. Tester is a farmer who grew tired of the scandals and dishonesty in national politics - and in Montana with Burns.
Burns was selected by Time as one of “America’s Five Worst Senators,” called Arabs “ragheads,” and was connected to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. (Like Don Young STILL is.)

Senate candidate Mark Begich addresses the Alaska Democratic Party Convention at the Palmer Fairgrounds May 24th, 2008.
The lighting is horrible in Raven Hall at the Alaska State Fairgrounds. This is the best shot I could muster.
The conventioneering begins today. The public is invited.

This press release just showed up in my email:
Research 2000 Poll Released Today Shows Begich Win, 48 To 43 Percent
Anchorage , Alaska – Research 2000, a nonpartisan, national polling firm, today released new statistics showing Mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Mark Begich winning the Alaska Senate race by five-points. The poll, commissioned by Daily Kos, shows the Begich – Sen. Ted Stevens head-to-head at 48 percent to 43 percent, plus or minus four percent
“Alaskans are ready for honest leadership that can deliver results for Alaskan families,” said Heather Rauch, Campaign Manager for Alaskans for Begich. “Today’s poll is just more evidence that Mark Begich is offering what people are looking for. Mark will fight for Alaskan families in Washington, not special interests and his own family.”
The poll of 600 likely voters was conducted May 12 through May 14, and showed Begich with a favorable rating of 52 percent, with only 25 percent unfavorable. In contrast, Stevens’ favorability is only 38 percent, with a full 58 percent unfavorable, including 24 percent who view him very unfavorably. Begich leads among independents by 20 points, 56 percent to 36 percent.

Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich and Governor Sarah Palin will be at the senior center in Anchorage this morning for a ceremonial signing of some bills affecting seniors. I’ll be there for pictures of the two of them. That has to drive Lyda Green up the wall. Consorting with the enemy and all.
